Like Ron, I'm in the jealous club too  ;D....OK, I have and use both those same reels and nowhere near as cool rods for them.  :-X
I'd really like to have one of those rollered Seeker Classics! 
Tell us a little about them gentlemen.... Lee's looks shorter.. what 5' or nearly? are they 130's?
My heaviest rods are W&M  5'6 50-100lb extra fast, extra heavy, no rollers. I like em a lot, but wish I had some rollers and extra bling!
Nice fellas....
and I really like Lee's fore grip....

I am getting all of my customs done now with the bottom grip done in a cord wrap. Gives me a better grip with wet hands.

Mine's a pair too  ;D

Mel, Nice! it looks like those x wraps just wrap over an old grip right? If so, schweet.. I'll look for some.

and one of these days I'll get around to learning a cord wrap too... I like the look and I know I'll like the feel  ;)
..if I only had a couple extra days a week  ;D

Erik,

almost the same as shrink wraps for electrical stuff but better material. just apply heat, heat gun works better, and BAM you don't have to be a rocket scientist...

and for cord wrap there's a how to on youtube...
