    Smallmouth Rod Build.

    Just finished this build for myself. Ordered the blank some time in the early summer and wanted to do something different. Took me awhile to figure out what that would be lol. It a Rainshadow Eternity 6' 10" Medium Extra Fast blank. Minima guides. I turned the reel seat from a Walnut blank and had to use the good ole wood burner for the smallmouth on the grip. Can't wait to get it out and fish with it. Feels good in my hands and balances perfect with that reel.

    Not sure why only the first one is showing for you. I've been trying from other folks devices and they were showing up.


    These Minima's aren't anything to crazy. I didn't use the real tall ones they have just the basic spinning guides.

    Beautiful work on that handle. And a reel wood seat too. Awesome! Not a fan of split grips. Only 1st pic for me too.
