I was asked to build a Harley theme spin rod for a charity poker run. This was a 6’6” medium spin rod. I used burnt burl for the split grip. After it was turned down I colored the rod finish with black model paint to turn the finish black. Three coats of finish on the cork and it turned out pretty well. I did black and chrome guide wraps but the star of the rod was the Mud Hole Project X spin reel seat (XRS-18). Marine grade aluminum for the entire seat but I was surprised that it didn’t weigh as much as I thought it would. Very well built reel seat. I cut it down to the fit the donated reel. The signature section between the split grip where the decal lettering went was spray painted white, then an underwrap of Pearl. Decal went over that. Got a lot of compliments on the rod and the reel seat from the bikers. If you haven’t tried this reel seat yet give it a shot. I just ordered another for a “purple” theme rod.
