Still Counting" - Boat fishing rod

This is a rebuild of a boat fishing rod.
3,20m blank hand painted and varnished by me trying to recreate an old and worn out rod.
Mudhole reel seat, Fuji K guides and Eva butt and grips with inlays made using the technique that i create.
The graphic is very simple only with the same fish silhouette that i use in the grip inlays. The idea it was making something similar to what the cowboys use to do when they kill someone they put a mark on the gun. Thats the meaning of this fish silhouette and the name "Still Counting.
