Seeker Pinhead restoration

[steelfish]

a local captain sent me this factory Seeker pinhead fishing rod, it looks like someone tried to add some clearcoat to protect the blank but did an ugly job (judge for yourselves after checking the pics), also, the rod comes with deckhand grips from the factory, the owner wanted to add a reelseat so, I had to take all the OG grip and install a new one as well as new reelseat, so, practially I peeled everything out from the the rod to leave only the blank, basically this is a brand new custom rod  , just one order from the owner, since this was a grift to him from a loved friend he asked me if I could leave the Original Seeker logo and the pinhead boy logo on the rod so, he can still see it as the gift from his friend? I have no problem with that I said.
well, time for the pics

Alex, your workmanship is top-notch, but your craftsmanship is amazing: artistic really. Causes me to pause, stare, and really take in all the fine details. Thanks for sharing.

Labor of love. It's easier to build from a clean slate than to renew an old canvas, and here you did both. Looks great.

Thanks those are really kind words of my work

I still can say, I like to help guys that cant afford a new custom rod to have a customized factory rod made on their color selection, logos, name, etc and see their happy faces when they finally have them with them.

The seeker pinheads were modeled after the old trulines, 7x, tnt,lm9, D8 and so on. It was a no frills line but that green glass was very popular. Wasn't long before the green glass ran out and was no longer available so they became almost collector items here in so cal.

Nice work, Alex! I like that green chartreuse color on the s-glass. I am curious how you fixed the finish. I have an old Graphite USA rod that I need to redo.
