The only rod I ever had made for me. I think he thought I was out of my mind when I told him my favorite color was purple & green together! If I recall he might have even sputtered under his tongue and then told me if that's what I want he will come up with something! Boy, did he! When it was all said and he said something along the lines of how amazing he thought the combination was!
This one is for you bud! Still love looking at it and fishing it! Hope your still making them behind the pearly gates while sipping your homemade beer or wine!
