Just put the finishing touches on a new rod.It's a allstar blank heavy action 6'6" I made it to fish heavier baits like jigs etc.

I'm now ready to do battle with those Pigwick Basses!


.....and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I think I like it !!!!!!!!!

Pics??

I just ordered my first custom job. Should have it by the end of the month. . . . lamiglass blank, carbon fiber handle, micro spiral guides, split grip. . . . the works!!!!! Gonna throw a lipless crank a country mile!!!!!!

sounds like you will have all the latest bells and whistles. Should be a dandy of a rod.
I normally build mine for utility,nothing fancy, but you can't buy one like it in a store either. I have been using the fuji concept for spacing etc. and alconite guides. they funnel down to a #6 for the last four guides, and make longer cast possible.
It's pretty gratifying to catch fish on a bait or rod that you built yourself.
