    Default Curly Koa wood

    Aloha Guys, do any of you make your own rods? I have some friends on some other sites who make their own rods and have ordered from me some 1x1x6 pieces of koa to make their own reel seats. Let me know if anyone is interested in getting some. Mems.

    I have a lifetime supply, but wanted to add that Koa is simply the best wood for making reel seat inserts, period. It's absolutely gorgeous, strong, and light! If you can get yourself a good deal on some figured Koa, do it!!!
