split handle/split diamond

[utwalleye]

here's a rod I just finished building, it's a split handle spinning IM6 44 million modules graphite. med. action with a fast tip. the wrap is a split diamond in maroon and sunburst colors with black and blue. the shark is a weave that is in the split part of the handle. later chuck

Nicely done Chuck!
I like how you installed the Aero reel seat up-locking. I like those seats, just wish they made them in more sizes.

thanks Raymond, I also like that reel seat with the short foregrip so I can rest my finger on the rod and have better feel. I hold my spinning rod a little differant from evry body else anyway. I hold it with my little finger above the reels foot, so I'm really just holding the foregrip. holding the rod like this gives me a more powerful hook set, it puts my finger closer to the rod itself, and distributes more weight to the butt of the rod making if seem lighter. later chuck
