the fugi single foot guide, very sharp looking guide. I used these guides on the split handle rod just posted. -
same rod, different angle, also epoxied down the cork tape, it is absoliutely seamless! -
mesquite (sp?) with 3 liberal coats of birchwood caseys walnut stain, then a good wet coat of tru oil, then buffed satin with a fine steel whool pad. used Andy Dears method of sanding with the wet tru oil to fill in the grain, worked fantastically!!! -
found a chunk of mesquite (sp?) for a dollar at the flea market. made a split grip with cork tape , and used a pac bay fly seat (up locking) to round off the setup, handle roughly cost 15$ not including my labor -
heres a new one I just finished putter, sorry its not purple, but hope ya like it anyway :-) -
4 wt. handle made from meskite (sp).. ebony, and white pine, from a scrap, closet clothes rack, 2 coats of tru oil, more coats tommorow, for a friend on a budget. easy to turn, and kinda resembles cork... -

handle shot, cork tape "rod bonded" to blank, absolutely impossible to find the seam, turned out much better than I expected, and matching butt cap to compliment the reelseat -
a small bass rod I got "artsy" with, cocobolo reelseat, size 16 fugi seat, a 1/2 inch id. Amtak blue ring, from a cracked guide as a winding check, cork tape handle, and modified a calcutta 250 handle with matching wood, single handle, mounted on a calcutta 50, wrapped on a Forecast SP844-DB.blank. the pic doent do it justice, but thread was black red and tan, with no CP, twisted together, to give a wood grain effect to match the real wood, looks good in person. -
rear view of reel seat with a "bulge", the owner palms his reel, and it is actually really comfortable, to my surprise. -
"bulbed the insert out a bit, then flattened out the area where the reel will fit into the reelseat. -
here is an "in progress" of a small bass rod I am making for a friend, cork tape epoxied to blank, with a nylon cord between the tape. -
sixe 20 rear trigger to a 18 fugi thread with black palm insert -
-
trigger seat made from a useless size 20 trigger, and a fugi skeleton, very slight taper on the insert, but very comfortable if you like "palming" the reel while fishing
