Default DS822 Rod Build...

Pics came out dark....But this is a 6'10'' DS822 micro rod Ive been messing with on and off again for awhile...I finally got down on it and finished it this past week.

Should make a nice little finesse rod....

Very nice, I'm glad you finally got it finished. I love those colors, it looks different than your normal stuff. I guess because you don't normally use a lot of metallics like that. The tiger looks awesome! Did you spiral this one?

As detail orientated as you are - you stick the decal on UPSIDE DOWN?

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Yeah, I know, but you could have turned the rod around and avoided my smart arse commentary............

Sharp looking stick. I prefer spinning for dropshot, but for other finesse applications I could see using that. I'm presuming by the model number it's a ML power? That's something else I don't have.

As Batman would say, KAPOW! You knocked that one out! I like the colors and the tiger movement.

It's another beautiful rod. I really like the tiger wrap. I'd love to see a rod built around a St Louis Cardinals theme!
