Built a spot for a customer. He loves it. He had the same blank built a few years back by a different Rod builder. Was worried he wasn’t gonna be able to find it but below and behold, you guys still had the blank. He was beyond excited when he received the rod. He said he can feel one little piece of witches hair seaweed on the end of his line when he’s trolling.
Couldn't be more happy with the blank. My customer absolutely loves the action and feel of it
I really like the feel of the blank but it has a bad blemish in a section. Bought 2 and one definitely shouldn’t have passed an inspection. Glad they were for me and not a customer.
I built this steelhead blank to use as a whiting rod in the surf. I'll be using a 2500 size reel with 10 LB braid.
