I have (3) Seeker SH 832 8'3" 8-15lb blanks I would like to get wrapped up for pulling plugs, I wrapped one last year to see how I liked the action. And now I want the three blanks wrapped by a top of line artist. Who would you recommend in the Kent, Tacoma, Bremerton areas. Thanks for you insight, Matt

Castaway Chris is a member here and he's out of Sequim but he did a really nice job on a rainshadow for me a while back.

Matt, how did they compare to the Fenwick fs83's?

Well, I bought three more blanks, when feeling the blank I thought it felt faster and stiffer, when it had the eyes on it, the added weight slowed it down and made it just about the same. There isn't any plug rod, I have found that works the plugs like the fenwicks, The Seeker is just about the same. It is awesome, if you want to wiggle one let me know.

Matt, I can take care of your task. The possibilities are endless here, if your looking for art work, i'm your huckleberry, but don't blame me when you don't wanna fish a wall hanger . I wrap from basic wrap to as fancy as Diamonds, Chevrons, and can do some weaving. Prices reflect so I encourage you to call to discuss your needs. I can take care of any shipping needs on a whim as well, so distance is no issue here. You can reach me on the Dream Catcher Rods line at 412-468-2248 or on my cell at 360-301-0695. Thanks, Chris Hendershot!
