I have two custom rods being made by friends.  The funniest thing is they are 3,000 miles apart.

My VA beach buddy who is tying up a new long rod for me just sent a picture...  I'll share later, but between the two coastal styles... I'm going to be like a kid in the candy store!

Damn, he send me a few short vids, but I'm having trouble uploading it to Photobucket.  I'm still working on it, but I am pretty damn stoked as it is a sweet looking rod!

He3 sent me a few teasers.






He sent me a third one, but I don't know how to save it.  It's the best of the three also especially for what he did.   8)

Tom your like a kid in a candy store right now. I know the feeling! I get this way building my own rods and scream inside when I do something cool. haha.

I can't wait to see the finished products (in something better the 240p) and see the smile on your face when you land something on them! make sure you send the builder pics of your first fish!
Keep it tight

Just heard it was getting shipped here really soon.  I think I'll only fish with Len's rod when boat fishing and Andrew's rod when surf fishing for the rest of the year.  lol

It's going in the mail today!  I told him I'm only a few sharks away from the top of the leaderboard and he wants this stick to take me to the top.  How can I argue with that? lol
