couple recent builds.
« on: May 11, 2016, 04:50:31 AM »
The Katana. All alps rollers, ALPS UB6 straight butt, 130lb blank, 7'9". Born an LBSF rod but may identify as a Marlin or tuna rod on weekends. Backwards guides and all.














Built an 80lb rod for my 12/0. 7'6" overall. White blank with red and blue wraps and gold trim. Poly cord butt wrap with a Turks head at the base. Re used #4 butt off a pen trolling rod that got scraped (new). Alps guides with roller.

This is the same blank I sent Southernsharker. I cut 3" off the bottom and reinforced it.
