dbass Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 8-) Just finished up this rod, SC368MXF, using Lamar Exotic Burnt Burl, and Lamar Exotic Laguna Burl accents for the split grips, Fuji ECS Seat, Spiral wrapped Fuji Alconite Guides, and Marbled the split. Here is a close up of the marbled area between the split grip. Used Silver, Gray, and a splash of White. This rod will neutral balance a Revo S Tight Wraps All!! Quote

Super User Alpster Posted October 8, 2007 Super User Posted October 8, 2007 Alpster, How do you like the new Renzetti??Tight Wraps!!!! David, I love it! It seems I am doing underwraps on all my rods, just because it is so easy to do. LOL I will have some pics up soon of a feminine rod I built for a fishing partner's wife on one of 'Mudhole's' purple blanks. Keep posting your work, it looks great! Ronnie Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 AWESOME! Do you have a shop? If so I want to come up some day lol,....Dave IS the shop!! Nice piece of work RM!! Quote
Super User flechero Posted October 8, 2007 Super User Posted October 8, 2007 That rod looks to nice to fish with Is there any weight difference between the burl and cork? Allen Burl is much denser and therefore, heavier. About 2-3 times the weight, if I remember correctly. Quote
dbass Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 flechero, Is right......... It is one of the way's that helps balance my rods. Tight Wraps!! Quote
dbass Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 Been practicing my flames, I think I'll do the 3C70MHF with something like this between the split grips..... Tight Wraps All!!! Quote
