Yep, PINK! Over the years we've had many requests for pink stabilized wood for custom reel seat inserts. Color quality has always been our concern in the past and we have put off pursuing this until now. We sent 4 different woods off to our stabilizer since he said he was up to the task. The results are VERY bright! If your looking for that bright pink for your lady's rod building project check out these blanks. They are listed under "SPECIALS" on our website. Your comments and suggestions as always are appreciated. Thanks!

I have used tulip wood and pink ivory wood for fly rod reel seats for years. Not sure I would go for the "hot" pink that is pictured. Maybe some people will like it!!
