Rods for sale

I have two LOOP blanks that are ready to build on.
If you are interested contact me at yakntx@yahoo.com and we can discuss the options and pricing.
 
Blank Inventory:
 
LOOP Cross S1 1090-4  (10wt) 4pc
 
LOOP Cross S1 890-4 (8wt) 4pc
 
 

 
 

LOOP Builds continue

Building a trio of Cross S1 10wt rods for Loop.
All three will have carbon fiber grips, reel seat with carbon fiber insert, Black Pearl Recoil guides and wrapped in purple thread.
When done they will be used on a trip to chase some Roosterfish.


While waiting on some components to come in I started on the rod by gluing up the reel seat, grip, and fighting butt to the first one.

 
 
When finished they should look similar to this one that I finished earlier.

Diablo Paddlesports build

Built this for a friend who owns Diablo Paddlesports.
Built on a LOOP 590-4 Cross S1 blank and completely blacked out. Used Black Pro Wrap thread, Black reel seat with carbon fiber insert to match the custom carbon fiber grip that has a Diablo inlay on it. Really like the way it turned out.

Bliss

It's pretty awesome to see the results of something that you built for someone to take on a trip work out.
This was a custom Loop 10wt that I built earlier for someone who would be fishing in Mexico for some large saltwater fish.
Here are some of the pictures that he shared.

Dorado



Roosterfish


Progress update on the 10wt

Finished sealing the custom carbon fiber grip and the fighting butt. Rod is wrapped and on the dryer.
