This is a rod I built recently. It was supposed to be in trade for tickets to Alaska, but the trip fell through. I will get some pictures up as soon as I can, but figured I would put it up as is to guage interest. It has all dark nickel snake brand guides, a Lemke reel seat it double locking rings provided by Southwest Custom Rods, and a full composite burl grips with an EVA butt cap. All black thread wraps.
It is a very simple and very powerful fishing tool. It casts a 475 grain commando head and 132gr sink tips with grace and ease.
Id like to get 400 for it with a metal tube and Meisers awesome rod socks.
