unfrozen Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Was asked to come up with a walleye rod for a banker. I decided to use casting resin to create my own split grip handle. Each end of the grip had two one dollar bills stuffed into the molds. The reel seat also contains a one dollar bill. The butt insert is the reverse side of the new penny. The guides are placed using the 27X NGC and Forhan locking wraps. Also am getting into wrapping so I added one of the fish patterns from Billy Vivona's book. This rod is a Christmas gift so I probably should have waited until after Christmas to post this but I want to get my plate clean before next week rolls around. If you know the gentlemen this rod is for please don't say anything. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
