I was fortunate enough to come across an allstar 1208 blank. This will be the only custom rod i'll own.(that's what i told the wife anyway) I'm looking for someone to wrap it. I want the best components available. Maybe even a little fancy wrap with a striper pic too. Looking for someone who does quality work. I have no problem paying for quality. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

thanks in advance...

Your rod will be done for the weekend:drool:

1208 :drool:

Should have loaded up while I had the chance--$115, best bang for the buck ever :(

I folded the tip on mine over almost 90 degrees on a roof eave, and it didn't snap. That was a couple hundred fish ago and it's still going strong.

got it today...:jump:...What a Beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike you did a fantastic job.:uhuh:, it was the best looking rod in your shop. Now it's the best looking rod in my garage. never thought i'd own a custom especially one this nice.:bounce: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!I spent 20 minutes and a hundred different positions just trying to get it into my truck the right way, to avoid any scratches:shocked: Thank you very much Mike. I absolutely love it.:thanks::thanks:


can't wait to use it...:fishin:....

Glad you like it.:drool:

Wait'll you hang a nice fish on it ;)

Don't be fooled by the light tip---that rod has a lot of lifting power in the butt :humpty:

the reel that i'll pair it up with will be here today, thanks to Charleston:hihi::kewl:, too bad the weather is gonna stink for the next few days:crying:....

George use it in good health.

Who cares about the weather. Throw on some rain gear and some korkers. :) Just be careful out there !!

Diagonal - slide it in from the back hatch and have the handle go into the passenger side wheel well. It's just a rod and a reel, George - used them and abuse them. :D Don't worry about the Allstar blank being able to take it - probably the most rugged blanks I have ever used.

I was out fishing in the monsoon and what a blast. I was knocked on arse a few times.

It tends to last longer when i do. Got any korkers in that basement of yours?:uhuh:

LOL - I am sure I do - what size are ya feet and wading boots? ;)

I have been in spots that Korkers weren't enough. :( Ocean is mighty strong! Gotta respect her.

Thanks again Mike.

That looks nice. Mike has my allstar 1208 and 1207 so Christmas is coming late for me :jump::jump::jump:

All this talk about purty new customs is giving me the itch, I WILL RESIST.

I give in as they were sitting in the garage for a couple of years.

:fishin:

I give in as they were sitting in the garage for a couple of years.that's a sin:smash:

:shocked:

Its got a spinning reel on it :eek:i'm not a conventional type o' guy....

yet...
That's why i'm looking for another 1208:)

I be on the look out:eyes::eyes:

Jim/ShipWrecked - you have had the 1207 and 1208 blanks for just over a year. I should know because I SOLD them to you when I was raising $ for ACONE last December 2008.

George got my last Allstar 1208 as well. I sold him my LAST 1208 over the summer. I'm happy that mikecc wrapped it for him. :)

The place those Allstar 1209's came from no long has ANY one piece blanks left. There were some 1266-2 pc left, but that was a few months ago.

For the record I have NO Allstar one piece blanks nor can I find any more. This way some one stops threatening to "expose me" and post my e-mail and cell phone number online so I get flooded with crap. Nice guy, huh?!

Have a Happy New Year everyone. :)

When did I ever threaten to post your email and ph? Was it when you threaten to throw my plugs into the fireplace?

So I'm being called a liar now, Jim/ShipWrecked?

I would consider it a joke if you say it once. You said it several times. More than once I got pissed off told you to go do it because I wasn't going to get threatened by anyone or blackmailed. I don't have anything to hide, do you?

I should have chopped up those plugs and burned them rather than have sold them to you. Oh, I charged you too much for them, right?! or I took your money and didn't send them to you?!

Jim/ShipWrecked: don't call me any more, send me pm or e-mails. Go HO' some one else.

Like I said Ray I apologize. And I appreciated everything you did for me. And I understand.
