What a nice surprise....

[Alto Mare]

I came home this afternoon and at the same time the Fed-ex truck pulled up, what a timing
Here is what was in the package:











and here is the Master that put this baby together

and another lovely surprise


A little while back I contacted Dwight and told him that I needed to have one of his rods. I gave him a general idea of what I was looking for and I also told him not to contact me, it was in his hands.

Dwight, I don't know what to say, this rod is way more than i ever imagined.
The craftsmanship is perfect, I do not see a mark or misalignment  anywhere.
My daughter was asking me questions about it, as I was  pulling it from the package and she sa!1.id that i wasn't even listening .
I know how much work and special touches you've put into this masterpiece, I'm impressed!
Thank you so much my friend... I love it!

Wow! I wish my postman would deliver surprises like that

I am very happy that it meets your expectations and I was elated that you asked me to build you one. You are such a great craftsman it gave me a little worry to get it just right for the master. My priority is "Built for Battle" and then I worry about the cosmetics and try to dress them nicely. The Seeker Hercules rods are very strong so don't be afraid to load it up on some nice fish.

Now take some time from the bricks and mortar and go use it.

The Italian flag really looks cool.  Congratulations Sal.  The best to you also Dwight, you do nice work.  I have say I like the signature shark tooth in all your rods.  Dominick

Nice work Dwight!

That rod really turned out nice.

Good clean crisp lines, on a solid blank, with what appear to be quality components.  I am sure Sal will make good use of this one.

Thanks Guys, I told Sal that every time that I went into the garage to check on it I kept thinking of pizza so when I finished it Sunday afternoon I asked Elli to order up a pizza and celebrated appropriately with a bottle of merlot.

Beautiful functionality, I know you built it to put the hurting on the fish and not on Sal.  Post up some fish pics when you can!
