Hi Rohit,

Great job it looks like a beauty. What blank did you use, and where do you get the eva and other parts?

Cheers
Andy

Thanks again for the nice comments guys, again I really wanted to show off how well the colours turned out to match.

Dazza
This is the same one that Bodey has, the one I want you to break is the lighter 200 version  ;D

Rohit,

Plenty of beauty on that custom.
Funny I can find you on here as you are my first read on this forum and this is also my first post :)

I would pay the bloody postage fees back to the US for one of these!

Enoch

p.s: I wonder if it could match one of these...

Hello mate, is that a JM? What size? I got a serious horn for those babies. A lighter champagne gold instead of the stella gold would do the trick

Hello friend,
Yes that's a PE5 size JM reel.  Certainly easy to get carried away looking at it.

Have you build any rods for these babies yet?
