So, out of 31 daysin January, I blogged 19 times! That is a ridiculous pace, and is the very reason I am running out of material. That, and my creative juices are running dry. Actually, they aren't, but have been diverted to my new custom rod concepts. I have been commissioned by Kakka to make one rod and by Duk to make 2 rods. So far, both Kakka and Duk have selected blanks for their custom rods, but have yet to settle on the rest of their builds.
I have also ordered one blank for a custom rod for Musky and two for myself. I also ordered one rod to repair Mek Mek's rod. He broke his on it's inaugural trip. I have already planned out Musky's rod; the key for which will be the handle. You see, I plan on making Musky's rod a light saber!
That way she can be the Yoda of Fishing! With her and I being such big Star Wars nerds, I don't see any better option for her. With her custom rod, I am planning on giving her Viento a custom paint job.
One of my rods is going to be a light action rod for casting finesse lures for bass and potentially panfish. It will be paired with my Sol, and will be trimmed in orange and black to go with a planned orange and black makeover for the Sol. My other rod will be for my viento. It will be more basic and minimalist. Perhaps I will go for the ninja look and go stealth with this combo, also giving the reel a custom paint job.
This sounds like a lot of work, and it is. However, I enjoy building things, so this is right up my alley. I will be blogging about the status of the rods and reels here. Stay tuned...
