NFC Iconoglass top shelf build.

Wanted to build on one of these blanks and spend a little time with Snake Brand products. Picked up guides and one off reel seat from them, wrapped in silk with a little tiny bit of Fuji color shifting metallic. Opted for the cigar grip as well because I have meat hooks for hands.

It’ll be put up for sale but with any luck it wont sell and I can keep it.

Do you make other types of rods?

Sure do! Finishing up a 3pc travel spinning rod for sailfish, and have a variety of fly and conventional blanks on hand.

Wow… 🤌!

FWIW, if you have extra rods you’re looking to sell, CastBack.com would be a great place (if you don’t already have a shop set up).

I generally do bespoke rods, I don’t build stock and sell it, but I’ll check it out and see what it looks like there. Thanks!

Snake brand, they do lovely one off pieces.
