Bryce's Drop Shot rod

WaffleJaw · 12-27-11, 12:36 PM

NoFear's DS rod with a Phenix mbx blank and Recoil guides...This one came out pretty slick I think!...I had more to say,but allergies are tearing me up right now

.............Hope you like it Bryce! Ill get it shipped today!

That turned out sweet!! I love how everything matches. Nice work!! That handle sure does look long.

nofearengineer · 12-27-11, 01:07 PM

Looks like an awesome job, Walker. I can't wait to catch my first dink on it.

Yeah, I purposefully had Walker make the handle a little longer, so the balance would be improved.

As for colors matching...check out the reel I'm putting on it.

Now that is pretty darned close.

bassboogieman · 12-27-11, 01:30 PM

Another awesome job! Walker, are you shipping in PVC tubes now?

Bassboss · 12-27-11, 01:55 PM

Looks fantastic pancake! What are those grips made out of?

Dark blue and Light Grey Eva.

And no Bruce...Ive completely reinforced my Cardboard tubes after the photos you sent me...They probably weight about 7lbs by them self and are double reinforced throughout the entire length...

Wow, that is a beautiful rod. I love the long handle.

Yeah I heard you guys had a bit of a struggle getting that sorted out. The rod turned out awesome though!

carolina-rig-01 · 12-27-11, 03:07 PM

That rod is sick looking! I seen some of the progress pictures on facebook but man the final product is beautiful.

I know it's hard to believe (

) but I probably wore him out a little with all of my calculations and what not. It is very frustrating not being able to put hands on it while it's being built! Walker's a real pro though...

bamabassman · 12-27-11, 06:01 PM

freaking SIC rod pancakeboy..........ya done gone and doneit agin man. now i see waht "recoil" eyelets are.lol. wondered about that.

and bryce, you think you gonna be able to keep it after everyone at dale gets ahold of it? since i won't be able to attend, your chances are pretty good my friend. congrats.
BUT DO NOT BREAK THIS ONE!!! hahahaa!!!

WaffleJaw · 12-27-11, 06:25 PM

Thanks guys for the compliments!

bcklash · 12-27-11, 07:03 PM

Bryce you will really go nuts now. Great looking rod. Walker does great work.

rrw4258 · 12-27-11, 08:11 PM

Wow, that is great work.... nice choice on the reel seat. That is the only reel seat I like for a spinning rod.

Looks amazing as always Walker! Did you guys end up going with Bryce's spiral grip design thing that he dreamt up?

Very nice looking work. And I should know, after all, I am the greatest drop shot fisherman in the world.

joedog · 12-28-11, 05:28 AM

Beautiful! I really can't say anything else.

islandbass · 12-28-11, 08:29 PM

That rod is sick!!!!! Nice job, Waffle! I know where I'm going for my first custom rod!

Dogmatic · 12-28-11, 08:46 PM

Now the big question...How much? (And what's that reel you going to put on it NFE?)

bamabassman · 12-28-11, 08:48 PM

Dogmatic · 12-28-11, 09:32 PM

Danke, but now for the rest of the question...how much for the rod?

nofearengineer · 12-28-11, 09:41 PM

It was very reasonable. That's as far as I will go.
