Title: A Super Seeker 6465XH for Ben
Post by: Jon Vadney on March 29, 2016, 08:24:09 PM
Here's an acidwrapped 6465XH. It's a custom painted blank from Seeker in a beautiful blue.  Guides are Fuji BHNNG's, and it's sporting an Alps Centra-Lock seat.  And the last picture is the picture of my groundhog.  This is how I know it's spring time.

Beautiful rod....what reel is going on it?

I love the color choices....it would match my 501 (http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=16893.0) perfectly!!!

Hey Jon do you ever do any level wind rods, none spiral wraps?

Jon; Beautiful job, thanks for the tip on laying out the spiral wrap it came in handy the other day.

Ben's building up quite a quiver!

When we lived in Connecticut and had a Dachshund we didn't have any groundhogs. Neither did my mom's friends!

Do you mean rods to be used with level wind reels or conventionally wrapped rods (all guides on top)?  I do both all the time. I will say that at least 75% of my business is in spiral wrapped sticks.
