Thanks for the pics, Shane! I'm really looking forward to getting mine in as well. I'm glad he's expanding his offerings!

I am NOT glad to see Tomo expanding his offerings. It means I need to save up a lot more money!!

Looks like a great color for a CFR fundraising rod. Throw in a SWCR pink insert on a lemke seat and you could do a number on it.

But you could only fish for Salmon.

Aurelio, I'm not sure... I don't have an unsanded one to compare but I doubt it makes a big difference, I do although like the look of the sanded on myself.

There is a hardwood called "Pink Ivory". That would be an insane insert/spacer for the Sakura and a CFR rod!

Sakura is a very common womans name in Japan, it means cherry blossom. Cherry blossom festivals are huge in Japan, they even have a special activity called "hanami" which is basically cherry blossom viewing.
