An ultra light spinning rod made of yellow E glass! What's not to love? These blanks where designed by Mike McFarland and are sold under the Ameriglass brand name. This rod is 6ft and rated at 2 - 6lbs. Full flex action!

I've been working on spinning reel seat hardware ideas for a little while now, and am still working on a rod tube/bag for these spinning rods but I have this one finished and wanted to get it posted.

That is amazing, I'm going to have to see what other sizes in the ameriglass series there are, I've been wanting to get my dad a nice spinning rod.

Damn!!! That is the coolest spinning rod, I have ever seen! I am a big fan of spinning tackle, too.

Appears to have a very similar esthetic to the Tenryu Rayz spinning rod used in finesse fishing in Japan.

Canoeman1947, I goggled it from your post. I don't think they look similar unless I am on the wrong page? I have not heard of nor seen these rods, they look neat.

Here is a photo I found - Image
