need a rod wrapper
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...
looking for someone in mass/ri area

1208
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. |

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  |

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.  Don't worry about the Allstar blank being able to take it - probably the most rugged blanks I have ever used. |

For the record - fyi.
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. |

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.
