For the guy who has to have everything abalone; custom wrapped Patriot Design Rockfist Ultimate 115. This is a great rod for us in Hawaii since we are always banging our gear around on the sharp lava rocks. I built this one for a friend on Oahu who wanted just a little hint of abalone without overpowering the look of the rod.
Hybrid guide train a bit different from PD factory stock, and a two tone grey/green foam grip for that PD factory type look.
