This rod is a build for a "Celebrity Customer". This is for the two time NBA Champion head coach of the Huston Rockets and All-Star forward during his career, and now LA Lakers scout, Rudy Tomjanovich. Rudy attended the University of Michigan during his college years so wanted a U of M themed rod. So I decked this one out with all blue and gold for him as well as a custom blue & gold rod sock.

Now ... THAT one got my attention !!!

Blue blank with blue wraps ... and the blue highlights in the grip.

I am not into team sports, so I know nothing of the referenced college.

 

But I REALLY like that rod!

My Buckeye allegiance prohibits me from liking this. I like your work, but this is unacceptable. And offending. I am seeking the nearest moderator.

Love the colours on this one. Great guide wraps. Looks very classy with the gold reel seat too

Ah, leave them alone.....remember that the Michigan cheerleaders have to use industrial strength Nair.

It is a beautiful rod though.

Very nice. Love the translucent blue blank. Who makes that blank Steve?

When I was playing and coaching baseball at the University of Houston in the 70's, we used to frequent an establishment (only when we had extra money. This was a nice place.....) where Rudy T. went. After the Kermit Washington incident, his face was a complete mess for a while. Really nice guy. Glad to know he's a fly fisherman.

Nice looking rod. Blue and gold always seem to go together, regardless of the team.
