Customer Rod

Just finished building and shipping a pair of MHX SB812 rods for a customer. Here are a few photos of the build.

Grips are turned from rubberized cork, regular burl, and light/dark mix burl cork.  Final sanding was done with 400grit sandpaper.  This photo was taken prior to a coat of U-40 cork seal.

Guides are Pacbay Minima in Black/Chrome wrapped with Gudebrod Classic Twist Red/Black with Silver tippings.  This rod features a spiral wrap with the following sizes. 6dbl, 5,4,3,3,3,3,3 Tip.

The Hook Keeper is a Z-Bend open style keeper.  Also featured is an aluminum winding check which also functions as the front arbor for the reelseat.
