    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.

    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.
