Title: the incredible Hulk and Batman rods
Post by: steelfish on October 22, 2019, 12:05:31 AM
this set of customized factory rods are for the same friend, and continuing with the superheroes themed rods now Im showing you a Shimano Terez with Batman theme and a shimano Tallus with the Hulk theme, hope you like them, my friend really liked them and Im happy with the ending job.

first, the Hulk
note, I was going to build for my personal use a hulk themed rod with a calstar GF blank 120lb but I used my ideas on this rod ooh well, I now need to think a different color combo or different theme now.

Too cool Alex! Keep up the good work. When you run out of super heroes you can do the villains.

Alex, I'm not sure how much work you are doing that you don't post pictures of, but as far as I can see, your fit and finish job has come a long way in not-too-many rods. Very nice!

Very nice work my friend. My favorite is the black and yellow one since I have done a couple on personal rods. Curious to see what comes from the new tool upgrades.

that color combo of green, orange, black and yellow could be a nice atractive rod, nice idea.

but of course, talking about aquaman from the 80's cartoon not the new aquaman movie

thanks Amigo, well yes, I havent post few rods since they were made pretty basic, some guys just wanted their rods with black thread over any light color and dont want any metallic or shiny inlays, etc so, I try to post something that I might find worth sharing because I like the final result or to share an idea.

  Question?  Are you going to show us how to pick out the 🐈 hair out of the last Cote of finish ?🏆
