Title: Matched pair of GF850H's
Post by: Jon Vadney on July 07, 2015, 01:32:16 AM
Here's a couple I just got done with.  Calstar Grafighter 850H's, Fuji SiNII Guides, Alps centralocks, acid wrapped.  On a few of the pictures, you'll see a white square covering up the name plate.  These were purchased as gifts and I don't need to ruin the surprise should the person see these before they're delivered.

Jon, that fit and finish is just terrible, you need to stick to your day job and let me hold that remaining Gudebrood trimar!!!!!


matching a pair with threadwork is hard enough, to those that haven't done it;  matching the marbling and acid wrap like Jon just did is like having Stephen Hawking in your algebra class.....

Yeah! Stick to the day job - let me 'look after' your rods until you learn to do it properly ;D ;D
Lovely work as always John.
Chris.

Those are some nice looking rods Jon as always. I have a good idea where they are going and what reels will be on them. ;D

Those will be some awesome sticks to fish with and light weight too.
