Here's what some folks have said about my products:

  "I have one of Marcus' reel seats in use on a classic fiberglass blank.  Mere words cannot describe the attention to detail and brilliant appearance.  J Marcus creates a product that is a true work of art, yet is superb in both form and function.  The particular seat he made for me has a reddish-brown wood (Paduk I think) at my request, to match the red silk I planned to wrap on the blank.  With the incorporation of fine nickel silver (the knurling is diminutive and precise) and fossil ivory I still received a seat that is very light and not overbearing for the 2/3 wt. 6 1/2' blank.  Now that I have completed and fished the rod, I feel that I truly have something special here."
