My new rod for the arsenal
« on: June 05, 2013, 06:43:35 PM »
A huge thank you to Mark AKA Treebeard for the awesome custom rod he just made for me. Mark worked with me on the design and components to build a rod that will be used for multiple species. Borrowing the concept from the banquet rod he created, this is definitely a one of a kind rod.

Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

Great rod there!  One of the few lucky ones ;D.  Mark's work is impeccable...and they catch fish.  Good luck with it.

Great work Mark and good luck catching this season TT^.

Nice rod you have there Sharkie. Great work Mark. Looks like you arranged your workbench with an egg beater, looks just like my computer desk and garage.  TT^

BTW, I'll be putting in my winter order for a rod.  slt
