Custom Retirement Rod....

[LRB]

Been working on a Diamondback rod this morning and applied a third coat of epoxy to the handle and foregrip...and built the epoxy ramp for the winding check....
The skin is a Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake skin that was salvaged from a roadkill...
My client bought this custom rod for his boss as a retirement gift...the rodblank is a St.Croix Legend Elite ..M/H..seven footer..!!

Now that is really nice!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could have gotten a rod like that when I retired. Price is probably too steep for me. I'd better start saving now. It's truly a unique work of art.
