Rainshadow RCJB90XH Green & white & Red

[steelfish]

one of the latest custom rods from the 2021
a 7.6ft  40-80lb rainshadow blank with ALPS XHN guides, fuji HD reelseat and custom grips, yep, another one with Mexican colors, this one is kind of special one, the customer just contacted me by Fbook, told me by message what he wanted, sent me the money and few weeks later I sent him the fishing rod, he liked it that much that ordered another one, same of everything, he wanted an identical rod, by the time he received it and told me he wanted another one, he was 5th in line, so this time he will have to wait at least 2-3 months, I do this in my free time. 

I dont do this for a living but its starting to get bigger than just a "hobby".

Looking good amigo! How come you reversed the colors at the tip? The tip also looks flat... did it not have the final coat at the time?

If I made such nice rods I may well  "do it for a living and let it get bigger than just a "hobby".

Very nice work Alex!

Looking good amigo! How come you reversed the colors at the tip?

its an optical illusion amigo, pretty sure its your monitor working wrong

naa, I havent noticed until you mentioned it LOL if not I would have taken it down and wrapped it again, they were reversed by mistake  , first I wanted to do a kind of three colors band over the white underwrap but didnt liked it, so, just made the cosmetic wrap as seen in the picture but looks like I took the 1st thread color wrong, thats the bad thing about working at 2am on rods after a long day at the office 

,,,,The tip also looks flat... did it not have the final coat at the time?

hmm I dont know, that its a real optical illusion this time LOL, I also didnt wanted a bulky epoxy at the tip, compared to the guide wraps the tip maybe is missing the bulky made by the guide foot, any way, thanks for the comments Mark they always help to improve.



@ to the res of Ohana, thanks for the comments amigos, this rodwrapping thing is getting more interesting and entertained on each rod, Im thinking on dropping the "Reel repair part" but my friends and local captains that gave me their confidence to work on their reels at the beginning dont let me drop it.

Alex I,m fairly confident that you used the same thread 🧵s for the top guide as used on the rest.
   Butt in the picture you posted the top guide wraps to me seem paler, less bright and. Colorful.
Pictures of rods usually don't do justice generally,   Butt your pictures are very good.
  Your rod building has improved to the place where you can call your self a professional ✅.  😺
Keep up the good work,

Alex, maybe you could try teaching & employing a couple of young locals that are interested in reel repair & looking for a little work. Then you can just sit at the cash register $$
