Garone Custom Rods and Tackle

Another beautiful custom rod Danny added to his collection. Like all of his builds it features top flor cork, Matagi painted TCH reel seat and trip parts, titanium Torzite Fuji guideswith exotic feather inlay on a St Croix SCV blank.

Every Garone Custom Rod has a story. This one is a little longer than most, here is that story.

I intended to build this Rod Geeks Blanks for myself to throw small jigs with gulp while walking the beach for Fluke and also small walk the dog lures for Stripers and Bluefish in the Manasquan River. I made the spiral checkerboard cork grips and assembled the handle about 6 years ago, but that was as far as the build progressed. 3 years ago we moved to Florida, Fluke and Stripers were no longer in the equation, but I figured could use it for something down here. A few more months with no progress. Then, finally some signs of life, I needed a rod to do a feather inlay demonstration, so she got some love. This time I got about 1/2 of the feather inlay completed before she got put back on the rack for close to 2 years. A few weeks back I decided it was time to finish her. First I completed the feather inlay, then capped it off with some beautiful trim and titanium torzite Fuji guides from Anglers Resource . Just as soon as she was finished John Walsh "adopted" her into his ever growing collection 😉, I was sad to see her go but she's in a better place now.
