Date: April 05, 2009 11:40AM Finished my second rod. This time Dad wanted a crappie rod. I used Forecast components from Al and Bill at Midwest Rod and Reel. I used a 7' RX7 IP840 blank, pipe style reel seat, Double Black Chrome guides using NGC and Forhan locking wrap. I turned the grips using pine. The decal of the crappie profile was done in the fashion of a complete wrap. This created some air pockets but they worked out nicely. A little black paint on the top and bottom to tie in to the reel seat and butt cap. The name was done using a tutorial I found that was authored by Dave Rogers. I used gold Gudebrod as the underlay color. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
