The shading is very cool. All done with size A thread, the smallest I know of. Second pic is a double pattern, very tough to keep aligned.
This thread I posted was actually an attempt show craftmanship quality. The pics are statements made about craftmanship quality differences between different countries products. In my pics I show a number of rod builds from US builders and Japanese builders. I'd be interested in someone picking out the difference. There are a number of small businesses in this country that sell custom built quality products. To say that some country's products are superior craftmanship to these business without any objective proof is unacceptable to me and I feel that I need to speak to this in an effort of fairness. My opinion and not ment to personally offend anyone.

Hi Tom. If you can, could you get your quotes to a smaller font? These actually hurt your eyes. Thanks in advance.
Bob
I see several Japanese rods in your pictures... thought you were getting the itch to convert...
If I can figure out how to do it Bob!Sent from my SM-G960U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appQuote:

Thanks for your comment .I'm sure they and she is proud of them. I built my rods with performance and quality craftmanship my main goals. I carefully select the components and then place them on the rod blank. A rod is most sensitive when it is a blank in my opinion. When you add the various components to make it a rod you are trying to achieve the best performance you can get.
