That 1208 is one of the classic Allstar rods. There were a lot of Allstar models but the 1088 , 1208 , 1209 and the 1418 were as good as any rods you will find for the applications they were intended.
I'm happy to hear both Ross and Paul are happy with the rods I built for them. Like any other craftsman , it is a pleasure to hear that people are happy with your work. Best of luck catching more fish with your 1208's gentleman ( I say "more" because I know you both have already caught some good fish on them! )  |

Black matte blank, blue over black wraps, K guides, cork tape, 6" EVA at butt. Pretty simple, no flash for me. I should be at the Castle before the game tonight... You will see/ throw with it soon....

Bumping this in tribute to Mike. He built three rods total for me through the years, including my first custom, which really steepened my addiction for stripers and surf fishing. Thanks, Mike. Good friend. Great craftsman. I will especially think of you whenever I fish those rods

I connected with Mike throught this site. He wrapped an AFAW Estuary for me that I don't let out of my sight. I appreciated that he took the time to ask me about intended use and preferences priopr to the build. It paid off.

So sad. I miss Mike already. He was good friend, true gentleman and a superb craftsman.

This rod has hardly been used. It is time to pass it on to someone who can better navigate walking boulders and access surf fishing areas than I. It has passed through the hands of some respected members here and deserves to be fished. Please PM me if interested. I will do some research as to what is a fair price.
