Naruto the ninja jigging rod

[steelfish]

This one is for my personal arsenal, the blank is a UC Zeus 3, fuji reel seat, LC fuji guides and KW guides as runners, the theme of the fishing is pretty discrete LOL, its a fishing rod I will normally use but my youngest daughter asked me to build it after that Anime (to tell the truth I saw the whole Naruto anime series on the pandemic days and it was surprisedly good), the idea was to put as much images and characters of the anime on the fishing rod and try to blend them with the thread colors, just like the Mario Bros fishing rod. https://alantani.com/index.php/topic,31101.0.html

I hope you guys like it, I do liked it and now I looking forward to using it!

there are a lot of pictures so, you can see all of it

I know, I've been there twice, even grown adults are in love with Manga comics and read them every day on those same commuter trains.

I bet if you posted up those pics on eBay Japan even with an overly inflated price it would sell in a heartbeat. You would just have to deal with overseas shipping.

Love the theming and the threadwork.

The guide layout looks familiar too 
I hope it serves you very well.

thanks amigo, looking forward to try it and check if I liked it more than the "regular" acid wrap USA style, I might re-wrap my other acid wrapped rods but lets check this one up first.

Thanks for showing us your recent work.  Your ideas and art with colors take you to a new level.  Truly custom with love and unknown hours of getting it right.

Wow, there's a lot going on, on that rod!
Beautiful job Alex! You really take those graphics, with that matched thread work to the next level! Must be goin for some bruisers with that spiral wrap, definitely looks like a fighting machine.
Gotta ask, if you don't mind?
How many hours you got on that build?

Great looking rod, my grandson would love it.

When I see the rod guide wrapping on these custom built rods, it takes me back to my electronic days as a technician where I see electronic resistors.

Four band orange-orange-yellow-gold resistor would be if I remember correctly something like 330K ohms.
