Military green camo rod and reel seat

Does anyone make a 7 ft, military green or desert camo rod and matching reel seat? Not the green leaf, the miltary green or desert camo.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Bill, I don't think anyone has that kind of a green blank. You may want to look at this link for a desert camo. It will be the closest thing your going to find without painting I think.

Thread, pigment, Mudhole grips will make a fitting present even for a Retired General!

The artic and desert camo is available for a change in background.

For a matte finish military green you can buff a Batson OG blank with a white 3M pad. I discovered that while prepping for a water break free surface. A couple sponsors may still have some OG blanks left over - I got some from Schnieder's Rod Shop.

Thank you all for your resourses and ideas. That was just what I was looking for. This is a gift for someone a few pay grades under a General but it will have a Ranger tab. Don't know how to weave the tab so I will go with a decal. Thanks again.

Bill,

Your email is hidden, so I'll post this here, although Tom may delete it, and I understand. But, definately check out Northwest Hydroprint. I'm pretty sure they have the current digital type camo that you're looking for. I've had them do a blank and a Mtrix Vetre grip combo, and they do an awesome job.
