I’ve done three builds on these now and they are super easy to build on. One spinning and two casting. No grip boring, less winding checks and super easy. You could build on it with no checks as where you might put one is up under the hood. I’ve used a couple of different checks with it but I think I like the tapered cone shaped one the most. Just build up some tape and good to go for epoxy. You do have to get used to cutting your blanks down which is a bit unnerving to start with but the up side is it gives you opportunity to select your total length. So I built a 7 foot drop-shot rod from a 7 3 blank. It turned out nice. I tied a weight hanger back on where it would have been a split grip with no issue. I think it looks good and should be very functional. The grip/seat is super light as well. You do pay for it though. A little on the expensive side. Depending on what you typically build with it could be 100% more expensive. If you want to do a super light, high end build this is a great option.
Tsuka 2 Carbon Handle for Spinning Rods
These handles are incredible light and sensitive just what you need to detect the slightest of bites.
I like the no fuss, no muss, part of building with the tsuka 2 handle. Low inventory requirement, no trim pieces to measure for, easy glue up, What's not to like? The skinny butt on the spinning handle! While I enjoy a trim, maybe athletic figure, I would like to feel a little more meat on the butt. thanks
Fun to build fast ,easy easy worth the price! Built on American Tackle Matrix PFR 3 this becomes my new jurk bait rod!
