DS822 Rod Build...

WaffleJaw · 08-18-12, 01:33 PM

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.

That tiger wrap is nice!!! Hell the whole rod is nice...like the color choices!

Thanks guys!

Joe its just conventional...The next two will be spiraled

..I placed my parts order this morning

Bruce, I do these things to fuel your smart arse comments,hahaha..That and I forgot to flip the photo

.....The sticker rates it a x-fast /Mag ML 6-14# 1/4-3/8oz

Ill probably test cast more in a bit....

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!

Wow, nice work as usual, Waffle! That rod looks amazing.
