My rod
(Preview)
Randy Search built a rod for me and I received it yesterday. He did a dragon scale wrap under the decal with my name. The blank is a beautiful green. The reel seat is also custom painted and the guides match perfectly. I will pst some pics but you really need to see this rod in person, it is very elegant. Pat
