I have been working on a new rod case and rod case fittings for about 14 months now. I am working with a couple of great, and very talented suppliers. Shown in these photos in an unsanded S-glass fiberglass rod tube/case.



I should be able to offer the case cap, collar and end cap in polished nickel and blued nickel to match my reel seat hardware. And yes you guessed it, these are exclusive and made by Joel Lemke. Joel is now working on making the hardware for my black aluminum tubes which are just a few thousands smaller in diameter than the s-glass tube.

Looks great Shane! Congrats!

OOOHHH Thanks, now I have to clean the keyboard, again! That really is a work of art. Joel is a true craftsman.

Absolutely beautiful ... Any idea of what the price range will be?

Mike, I dont want to know. Ha!
Petestiles, thanks!
wb4tjh, I won't be selling the tubes.
Cross Creek, this one is 1 5/8, will also make them in 2 inch.

Those look great. I think you should sell them, you wouldn't be able to keep them in inventory!

Problems everyone in sales just love to deal with Shane. Selling so many rods glass tube production can't keep up! Love it ...

Sarcasm aside, I understand your dilemma. As you know things will square away, you can always sell them later. I have wanted one since the first time I saw the packaging of the Norie Amberstar. Good for you bringing them into production.
