  • Turnin more rods

    Finished up another rod last week. It's a 6'6 IM8 blank from FTU. Very light blank, They call it a light but to me it's more of a medium light with a moderate fast action. I used black eva foam for the grips and slapped some recoils on it. The reel seat is the split pac bay seat.









    This is one going to be a medium action rod for big plugs for my dad...

          Is that the BSRT66L blank? I've built three out for myself and a buddy, and it's an amazing blank! I built all mine with micros, and they came out super light. I've caught some big fish on mine, lot's of grunt.

              Nice job Alex! Those recoil guides are the best-they don't break.
              "Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.

                    Anyone want this rod? Brand new condition. Maybe used 2-3 times. 100 bucks. Just the blank and recoils cost over 100... And for 5 dollars I'll even put a decal with your name on it.

                        You bet! How much extra to add some markers for measurements?

                          Roughly 7.5". I'll measure it when I get home.

                          Yes I could put measurements on for a few bucks

                            I'll give Gilbert the first shot since he'd probably take it anyway, but if he doesn't get it I will.
