Acrylic Rod Handle

[LanceD]

I haven't made a pen in months but I still on occasion make custom rod grips. The material is one of many I had Bob (BSEA) make for me in a custom size large enough in diameter to make a rod grip. I actually forgot the name of this one though but I named it Iron Ore just for reference for my customer. Any comments or critiques are appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Hey Lance, that looks really cool. The blank is called Comstock Lode, but call it what you want. That looks so cool. I had forgotten I'd done those blanks for you, and I was really surprised when I clicked on this thread. Good Job! :good:

It is beautiful, Lance---but I have to ask what is it really made of??

I visualize trying to reel in small Lake Michigan salmon (maybe 25 pounds??), but you have to be making these for sea fishing---what takes the stress???

(half inch carbon rod running through it???)

GREAT look, sorry, I get intrigued by the structure.

BEAUTIFUL........... as a person that loves to fish, THAT is something to have.
Very nice.......Very special.

Now I got to go and look at a few of my rods and think.

Ed the actual rod runs all the way through the handle down to the butt section. It's probably a little on the light side for 25# salmon but in our area it's perfect for speckled trout and redfish up to around ten pounds or so.

Thanks for the comments. I really appreciate them.

Great job, beautiful work! I would love to see the procedure of how to build one.
