Rod Build Going Geauxing Lousiana

Bubba_Bruiser · 01-11-12, 01:28 AM

I built these for a guy I work with. They are both Rainshadow RX7 blanks. The LSU rod is a 7'0" MH-F (843) micro (6-5-4s) and the Saints is a 7'10" H-F (944) conventional (8-7-6s). 843 came in at 5.0 oz and the 944 came in at 5.7. Solid EVA grips really added some chunk to them. The 843 balanced under the pawl, and the 944 is 1.5" in front of the real. I was hoping to have 2 championship editions, but we know what happened last night. I still got a chance though.

Gimme a call G or PM me. TN on a white blank would be hot to trot.

As always Bubba, another beautiful product. Although navy blue and gold with a fighting leprechaun would look even better.
