    Rods finished.

    Well I finished my new stand up tuna rods. I think they came out ok. Nothing too crazy but nice on the eyes. They are going to get silver Avet 50w reels on them so should look nice. My camera is not good at close up stuff but i think you can get the idea from the pics.

    Great Job. Black is such a strong color on a fishing rod and compliments most every color including silver.

    Nice Job!!!

    Those stuart guides are pretty good for the money, I have used them on a few rods now.

    Very nice. Especially for a first build. Nothing like catching a fish on a rod you built.

    Thanks a lot everyone. I enjoyed building these. I had just done a 5# fly rod for my old man so everything seemed so huge!

    Those are sweet looking rods. I'll bet you can't wait to field test them.
