With vacation fast approaching, and the DS rod near completion, I figured I'd start on my next project.....a new tube rod. Here's the crude beginnings.

I like the Rikon too. Was gonna get a Jet, but decided to go the economy route on the lathe and get a good chuck. It does just fine for what I do with it.

Here's an update on the DS rod. It's complete, minus the decals which haven't been made yet. Total weight.....2.94 oz.

Where did you get that bottom DS bait?

It's a custom pour.  I'll shoot you a PM with his contact info as he is not a board sponsor.

never seen a Aero reel seat mounted backwards !! how comfortable is that ?? i would think that having your hand on the reel seats threads would not be comfortable .

I hold my spinning reels between my pinky and ring finger, so I never touch the threads. My pinky is on the reel foot and the hump of the Aero fits in my hand nicely. I don't like foregrips, but with this seat mounted backwards, it's necessary. So, the short foregrip allows me to have contact with the blank.

It's done, except for the decals....and I may not even put them on.

Very nice rods and awesome cork work.

Is that Electric Blue Metallic on the DS rod?

It's Gudebrod (638) Teal nylon without CP.  The inlay is (9252) Aquamarine metallic and the trim is (9006) Steel Blue metallic.
