Super User MarkH024 Posted February 11, 2013 Super User Posted February 11, 2013 I am not the seller, I just found it browsing. Thought this was unique, to say the least. Not for me but someone here might enjoy having it. Ebay link Quote

Super User MarkH024 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Super User Posted February 12, 2013 I see this more as a wall hanger by the basement bar. You can make up some crazy story to your drinking buddies about fishing in texas landing your first dd bass and this rattler came up and latched on your leg. Poisoned and all you still landed the beast but failed to get any pics for proof because of the snake. You know us fisherman, Full of stories. And of course they're all true... Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted February 12, 2013 Super User Posted February 12, 2013 I see this more as a wall hanger by the basement bar....... Sure - but build it on an Ugly Stick blank...not a St. Croix Legend Elite SCV blank... 1 Quote
The Rooster Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Sure - but build it on an Ugly Stick blank...not a St. Croix Legend Elite SCV blank... Well, it is an ugly stick now. Actually more like a fugly stick. 3 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 12, 2013 Super User Posted February 12, 2013 No thank you, sir. Quote
slowpoke274 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 thats rod abuse. why on earth would you do that to a awesome rod like a st croix??? dude needs to put the pipe down Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Super User Posted February 12, 2013 Well, it is an ugly stick now. Actually more like a fugly stick. Lol. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 12, 2013 Global Moderator Posted February 12, 2013 I couldn't see it even being possible to fish with that rod? It would have to be extremely uncomfortable to hold for very long, and how tough would that rattlesnake head be? I love St.Croixs but I'll pass on that one. Quote
jessallus Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I wonder if it comes with some extra Voodo! lol Quote
Jig Meister Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Looks like gandolf dropped his fishing staff...... 1 Quote
TNBassin' Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I wonder if Satan knows someone is selling his rod on eBay?? 1 Quote
Super User .RM. Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 As a custom rod builder my opinion is. While not really comfortably fishable, it could be fished. The seller/builder has imo a lot of hours in this rod. In the custom rod world this rod would/could be included in a lot of collections. A lot of the replies here don't take into consideration that this is a collector rod, not your everyday under a 100$ rack rod...... 1 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 Looks like something you'd display, not fish with. Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 I just completed extending the butt section of my rod, I didn't recover the blank with traditional cork. I decided to go with a nautical theme........ What do you guys think? Not as ugly as the Rattlr! Quote
0119 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Interesting, are you going to clear coat it? Paracord or seine net rope? Back to the snake rod, why go through all that work and not put better guides on it! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 The ad says you can specify your hardware. Aren't those Fuji K Alconites, though? Maybe I'm mistaken. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 The ad says you can specify your hardware. Aren't those Fuji K Alconites, though? Maybe I'm mistaken. He just sates in the write up that he mounted Fuji Alconites did say abot the series. He even has the rattle that can be mounted.. I like the fact that he states he like building extreme custom rods, obviously found a nitch of his own.. Tight Lines! Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 His ad states that these rods are for fishin, but I'm thinking that it would be a great conversation piece as a display. The ad also states the item is in CT, I would have put money on Texas. To Charlie I clear coated it with an epoxy. posted pics in Tacklemaking section. It is 3/16" braided nylon. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted February 13, 2013 Super User Posted February 13, 2013 Three of them? Sad day in the fishing world Quote
Super User slonezp Posted February 14, 2013 Super User Posted February 14, 2013 Guy cant be all bad. He owns a white leather couch. Quote
