Ian, you have a thing for crays/craws/yabbies now don't you Wink I think I know the maker, the tow point looks familiar.

Rod looks good too buddy, have you had any more grips etched? Neat process, adds another dimension to the build.

Kaveman , the rod is a biuld for someone else , not sure what they will put on it .
Sam --- I have in mind a skeleton hand and arm , for a foregrip of a Spinal SPL84 popping blank I am about to build on , the cray is one of Bryans of Power lures .
