1 more for the spinning crowd

Bubba_Bruiser · 10-05-12, 07:42 PM

I built this one on a Castaway 822 M-F blank, Aero real seat, American Tackle guides, a little aluminum bling, did a little groovy work in the EVA, and minimal thread work (Whew, take a breath). I really liked this rod, it felt very nice with my reel and casted with little effort. I ran a micro guide set up past the first 3 guides and it was smooth as silk. It weighed in right at 4 oz.

Looks good man! Simple and classy. My next spinning rod will definitely have the Aero seat, so much more comfortable. Nice build.

I think I am going to try the TN handle on my next one personally. I got some pretty good information from Mr. Bill on them and might try it out.

10-4 on that, great idea. The other thing I've thought about is not using any grip material at all, just a nice round seat. I hold a spinning rod at the seat anyway. You could do the same thing with a small TN handle though. Food for thought.

Thats another great looking rod Garey. Anymore, I think we've come to expect nothing but the best of your work. And you never disappoint us. Well done my man!

Thanks KD, I appreciate it.

Do you need someone to test it out for you? I'll offer my services not only for this rod, but others you build too.

Sweet rod though.
