Here's an 800M for a buddy of mine. Fuji MNSG, bullard black and silver, gudebrod metallic purple.

That's an awesome looking rod man. I didn't think I would like the purple so much. I would love to learn how you marbled that intricately under the guides

Jon, you do great work.  I know a few guys that have your rods and they talk up a storm about them...and a few will be contacting you once they come up with the cash.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Nice work. Do you have a website or anything so I can get an idea of prices, availability rod weights, etc. I always wanted a custom rod.

Hey buddy, I don't have a site at the moment as I don't have the skills to make a site the way I would want it.  My prices are usually on a build-by-build basis.  Generally speaking, labor will be anywhere from $150-$450 depending on what you want.  PM me with some details about what kind of rod you are looking for and your budget and ill get a build prices out for you.

Regards,
Jon

Seekers and Calstars are hard to beat when done custom. I sure like all my custom stuff.

I'm giddy with anticipation. ;D


I'm really liking how the split grip design came out.  I should have it done mid next week (i wait 24hrs between coats of finish).
