Reel Repair by Alan Tani

this fishing is a special one, if for our friend Todd Johansson from port Hardy, Canada, this one will be shipped from Baja Mexico to Canada, pretty cool isnt it?
I still have it on my hands and waiting for a guy that will take it with him to Canada and give it to Todd.

Todd moved heaven and earth to deliver me this fishing blank and build him a jigging rod with a mexican flag theme, he was very specific on build it using those colors and build it in a way it cannot be confused with an italian flag, so as many of you know the only thing which is different between both flags, is Mexico's flag in the white color has an eagle eating an snake on a cactus, so, I put the Mexican seal on each of the guides.

the blank is a rainshadow RCKJB 600-325   30-60lb composite glass/graphite, running guides are KW fuji, hypalon foregrip and hard slickbutt as reargrip, some accents here and there and thats all.

so, now a bunch of pictures

Im really excited to see if in person. Great work as always Alex.

Cheers

Todd

hola Jason, I've been kinda busy on my wrapping station but most have been repairs so, not much to show to the group.

this one surely deserved to be shown
