Its been a tad slow on this forum, here are some recently completed rods for MadMarco clan. The pink rod is Marco's!:lol:

Rods were built on St. Croix SCIII blanks (except for the Pink rod), Fuji Alconite guides, Fuji Deluxe reelseat & cork grips.

Thanks for the business Marco.

Nice to finally see some rod porn. I was wondering if anyone was still building. Nice work Noles.

I just saw this post Phinla. Hey thanks for taking the time
building these rods. I actually just tried a couple out this weekend.
How I fished with those cheap a$$ rods I had , I have no clue.
These rods make a hugh difference.

Nice rods, but you need some serious help with taking pics of them.

Oh yeah about this weekend, I forgot to mention.
Those rods did have mojo, as you promised. I caught a few 22-24 inch trouts, some ladyfish. What was cool was that my casting was accurate, and it required very little to hook the fish. Also, I was able to feel the lure. A true experience.

He did catch those big trout. Oh hey, there should be some photos in my camera!

Note: Posted two photos but they were HUGE. I'll get them properly sized and up tomorrow. Didn't want to blow up the page with way oversized photos.

Neil, you can resize them in Photobucket. Saves a bit of time if that's all you want to edit.

I will also attest to the fish. He was pulling them out one after the other. You definately added some mojo to them. By the way, the rods look great. I got to see two of them close up.

Bad photographer. Marco's flounder was about 14 inches, it looks about 11 in the photo.
