Just to share some fine workmanship of rod building done by an experienced rod builder, also a good friend of ours.

Love my Jade Rod !
Took him a solid 6 months to "think" and just few days to complete.

Both is a Predator blank ... sprayed to our choice colour of pink and green. :D

Perfect Match !

Simon's little Red Riding Hood finally found Alexander.
Love the colour combo of the two and has matching carbon fibre butt and knob.
An extremely light rod with titanium K guides and it's made in Japan ! :thumbsup:

Beautiful custom job on the pair of Predators, many fishes will be falling into prey to the Mother & daughter team. :lol: What's the little lure thingy embedded at the base of the rod butt on the green rod?

I see Simon also got a new toy for his birthday too, may it bring you many fishes in years to come. ;)

hahaha ... the little green fish at the butt caught your attention.
Had wanted to add in a butt ring with sparkling diamond all round.
The existing stock colour of the ring didn't match and the choice colour had to be ordered from Japan.
And after some thoughts ... don't think I want the butt to blink blink ! :lol:

Sam came up with the idea to embedded a tiny lure at the butt area.
It sits nicely on the right side of the rod so when I am in action ...
The lure goes into action too !
