After posting the end of year Pink Lady and I immediately got an order so here it is. This one is a little lighter. The blank is a Seeker Hercules Athena GTS 70M 30-60. The reel seat is an Alps centra lock gun metal and guides are Alps 50 lb class.

really like your rod building techniques and style Dwight.
never overdone and always eyecatching, hopefully in few years I will be able to do something similar to your builds.

Nice work Dwight!

The mermaid decal is a nice touch, given the theme.

Beautiful as always! (Still can't handle that spiral wrap business, tho'...  :P ) At any rate, I'm delighted to've started the Pink Lady craze... hope you keep getting orders!  ;)

Thanks to all. Custom building for me anyway is a reflection of personality. My style is built for battle first and then I dress them but do not like a lot of real busy stuff so the wrap style is clean and simple. Decals are whatever the customer wants.

And John, I polled a few of the local lady anglers on the mermaid and they all liked it for the theme.

Very nice rod, the trimar black and gold is a nice touch. Is the glass pink on those seeker blanks or is it painted pink? Seeker has been putting out some painted blanks now. I just finished my first painted seeker,will be interesting to see how it holds up. Sheridan
Do what you can with that you have where you are

The Hercules Athena is a Hercules grey then painted silver and then pink on top of silver and in the sun light you get some silver sparkle from it.
