A thread for the rod builders
Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!
Ok I'll start it Here's a few builds and 1 complete rebuild.
I just did this one for a buddy. He wanted me split the grip and take off the foregrip BUT he wanted it different than anyone else.
the first rod I ever built, MY loomis IMX844

What kind of balance system is on the last rod?
Allen
It's a system I make myself. I had weights machined for me in two sizes and then I uses a threaded bumper and insert. If you are interested in one for a rod IM me. I have some available for sale.
I'll throw my hat in the ring I guess...
Pretty loud (pic while under construction)!

Here is a couple of rods I built for my mom.
This is one I built for my dad.
My first try using Trimar
Thats all I could find right now I will get some more up.
Here is one that I most proud of. I did some experimenting and it worked out. Most of all this rod is an Berkly Series One I love the rod and finally got around to redoing it. Oh yeah the MAIN thing I dont know how to do is take pictures of these rods.
