Latest Custom rod
Submitted by Bunny on Sun, 2015-10-18 13:48
Here's a fantastic 50lb Samurai Jig 8 rod recently built. The blank was 88 grams and at 6 feet long with that rating it's a gem. I cut this one down a few inches. Custom grips with a fancy Alloy reel seat and metal trim ring and the final rod weight still came up at only 266 grams.
Guides are Fuji Titanium K frames so a fair amount of money there alone. Gudebrod metallic threads (Silver metallic is Fishhawk). I'm loving the colours and very jealous I have to give this one to my mate.

Neat job there Bunny, almost be too afraid to take it out and get it dirty.

Thanks guys. I really like this rod in terms of how it feels in the hand. So light in the top section. Can't wait to see some fish put a bend in it.
I have a few more coming off the lathe so will post more up later this week. Stay tuned.
