Custom MHX 7ft bream/flats rod.....
Submitted by barneyboy on Sat, 2013-12-28 10:45
Here is the latest build.
The blank is a MHX S842. 7 foot 1 piece 2 to 4 kg. They come with a limited lifetime warranty.
I used a mahogony wood reel seat that I think looks quite sexy and Fuji 'K' guides. 1 double leg stripper guide and the rest single legs with a silicon carbide tip.
The pattern is what I call a 'shooting star'. Bound with 'A' grade, Metallic blue, Metallic silver, NCP royal blue and black.
Just need to muck around with the cork a bit now to get it a bit better and get a better camera for close up pics.
Happy fishing...

Nice.
Is it a rod for yourself?

I did build it for me
however it was a bit of an impulse buy and I might end up letting it go. I bought a 6 footer at the same time which is a bit more of what I was after.
