Tuned Up Custom Rods - Colors

[jeffro9]

Hey guys I am looking at ordering a Tuned up Customs Rod.
I am having a hard time deciding on which colors to choose.

Looking for some pics of what combos you guys have done.

I got a bullwhip, but I think all the rods are the same matte black or white. I went with black wrap and yellow trim, to match yellow painted tip. Thought that was going to be kind of boring, so I spiced it up by ordering neon yellow trim and metallic black for the main wraps. The "metal" in the metallic black wrap is subtle, but looks good in my opinion. I realize the yellow trim might be what they consider the stock color on a bullwhip, but I did a custom order to get the length/handle combo I wanted mostly, didn't think too much about the color.

I can't find it now, but there was a webpage where you could mix and match the rod, main wrap, and trim colors with a drop down menu and it would show how they look together. I used that a lot when I ordered a DH rod earlier this year.

I always go with the standard colors, in case I want to sell at some point.

The TUCRs look pretty good in the standard colors. Unless you have a desire for a specific color configuration.....

Get your favorite sports team's colors. I got my buddy Twins colors and it looked great. I always get dark green and silver. No sports team, just colors I like.

I hear Perch and Walleye prefer Pink.

I did purple 9600 for the main and burgundy 9640 for the trim because I thought they would look cool together. They used so little trim thread you don't even see the burgundy. Not to mention the rest of the build was pretty poor. The but cap (I think that is what it is called) cork wasn't flush with the rest of the cork. There was a visible ridge between them as well as glue showing all over the place where the two rings of cork were put together. There were other issues with the build I will not go into. I just picked it up a couple months ago so I haven't used it yet. Hope it works better than it looks.

Pretty disappointed for what I always hear about their rods.

Lots of better options out there...

Lots of better options out there...

Examples?

I would match it up to the color of the reel you plan on using, or go with a silver/black since most reels are those colors.

Have you contacted them about it? All I run is TUCR and the few minor issues I have had were taken care of promptly and they stood behind their work.

That would be great Chris. I have looked all over for pics of differnt colour combos but have not been very sucessfull. I wish TUCR’s had a gallery of high quality pics, it would make ordering custom much easier as I am in canada and am ordering blind as there are no suppliers near me. I am planning on the percison rod and paring it with a Pfluger supre xt, so trying to match the colours as close as I can but its hard from a crappy low quality picture of the wrap colours.
