Kojak built some wicked rods,used dyes instead of paint,white leather with nicknames printed on it,spiral wrapps done with roller guides,lots of experimenting with stuff he found on the net... Guess he was lucky he could choose who he built for and what he built.. ]]> Fri, 16 Sep 2011 21:12:34 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70029&PID=1000276&title=kiwis-are-boring#1000276 <![CDATA[Kiwis are Boring.... : gtrbaby wrote: dont worry...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=70029&PID=1000266&title=kiwis-are-boring#1000266 Author: green guy

just an observtion of the lack of "flair"that the guys I build rods for are after - if you look at some of the cusotm rods built around t6he world - they are detailed, colourful and actually interesting.
 
people ask me to build them rods here in NZ - so I ask "what colours do you want?" about 80% of them say "just black".......boring!!!!
 
A mate of mine said " can you make it look like my Shimano one" ...... I told him to go buy another Shimano as it would be cheaper and look the same.....
 
why are us Kiwis so reseverd when it comes to one off individual things???  
 
i agree mate i love the stuff the boys do on bloody decks i love doing thread art not into weaving but have done a few wicked things with threads dont think i can build a rod with out some threa art are u in auckland may b we could t up and so some crazy stuff on some rods
i reckon there are a lot of of diffrent items and things to implament into rods
 
kojak did some wicked things with rods really liked the vynal stickers he used on some of his stuff

He speaks the truth
 
me - "all black thread, I want it all black"
 
altho, with big ass chunky silver fujis and gold reel seat/gimbal would look pretty cool.....
 
I went with the little amount of silver and gold thread too tho.  LOL
