Calstar blank, Winthrop rollers and sailfish weave. This one I built for myself. Not absolutely crazy about the colors but was experimenting a bit.

This is another donation rod I just built for a fund-raising charitable event in Palm Springs, CA. The proceeds going to the family of an officer that was killed in the line of duty.

Tim, There are some pics in my gallery with a glod/blue theme using the AT guides Mike mentioned above. Just for info. Randy.

Scott, It does but you can't run two spools on the same shaft. You have to offset one so far the other is too short. I was considering making my own longer ones to accomodate two spools but haven't got around to it. I've also used empty Gudebrod spools and wrapped the Madeira onto that first. Randy.

Rich, I have that kit but am still messing with it. It's simple to do and works fine on larger decals but I have problems getting it perfect on the smaller ones (1" or so). I'm still in the experimental stages...Randy.

I'd be glad to host away if everyone else is willing to drive up here. I'm easy and can drive down there as well. Jerry how 'bout SWARM (South Western Area Rod Makers), LOL. I think I threw that one at Billy about a year ago. Bill your certainly welcome as well.

Mike, I'm just up the road from you in Temecula. Send me an email and we'll see if I can help you out. Randy.
Forum: rodboard

Robert, I know you already saw mine but I put a pic up anyways. Randy.
Forum: rodboard

Mike, If you book this early they'll probably give you the deposit, LOL. MAYBE I'll be able to go next year (fingers crossed)...Randy.

The American Tackle exposed blank comfort seats are pretty nice as well. I haven't tried the Batson seats but like the AT better than Fuji. Randy.
Forum: rodboard

Thank you for the compliments. Robert check your email. Randy.

I reel left-handed on both casting and spinning. Most of the lighter casting reels are available in LH models however much of the heavier SW stuff isn't. Most of my SW stuff is Accurate just because they will convert any reel to LH for free as well as laser engrave your name. Try finding a heavy LH trolling reel other than Accurate...

Spencer, OK cool. I'll be using it as a live bait spinner throwing anchovies and sardines. I think it will make a great addition as a Yellowtail rod on my new boat. Randy.

Building a RCLB70L as a spinner for my son as we speak. Really good-feeling blank, anxious to try it. I'm matching it with the Batson VD TiCh guides (gold rings). As soon as that one's done I'm building another spinner on a SW967 8' blank. I'd heard so many good comments about the Batson blanks thought I'd give it a go. Randy.
