The first of the Titans
I was going to wait until both rods were built but mine will take a while so here is the first.
A basic build based on my good mates requests and I really like the end result. The open thread work exposes the Carbon weave and it has come up great.
The blank is the 5'6" ML and the total build weight comes in at 211 grams or around 7.4 ounces. The rod is rated to 45lb so a similar class to the JM Three Kings Special and Fallings UL rods. I'm impressed with the light weight of this rod and mine will be much lighter again. For one I'll be using the new Fuji Torzite guides.
Fuji Alconite K guides and a SIC tip, Fuji VSS size 17 seat with night camo grips and Fuji rubber butt cap.
I hope my mate doesn't see this post before he gets this as it's a birthday present.
