mine is a rod geeks carbon 5 7'0 medium heavy blank used Fuji cork grips and a exposed reel seat. the thing can handle anything I cought a 3lb with another 3 pounds of grass and I boat flipped it and it didn't break plus its the best custom fit rod I have built. I just interested what other people got for more rod ideas

I found out this spring my favorite fishing hole the DNR are allowing people to catch and keep any size bass. one day a fellow who lives near where I fish came out and said that the the bass are eating the walleye eggs so why not get rid of the bass so the walleye can survive. this is a small lake you can see all around the little lake I asked the guy why this lake its kinda small he replied there I so much structure. I wanted to scream what not keep it a bass lake then but instead kept fishing and a half hour later cought a 5 pound largemouth up here that's a nice bass.

is it nessisasry to wrap the guide cant you just put the thread finish on and be good. I ask this not because I cant wrap a rod I've wrapped plenty but I'm building a ultra light rod that seems like it would be a pain to wrap for me. I'm using the rod for panfish

I have only built casting rods and now I'm going to build my fist spinning rod I would be using Fuji titanium torzite high frame guides then regular runners can someone tell me what size the first 3 or 4 guides should be before the #4 runners

I brought the JDM Vanford 2500shg I'm going to use 10 pound braid and use it for panfish and finessing bass with 1/16 ounce jig heads what rod do you all think I should get my budget is 300 bucks

Anyone have any experience with the bass 4 series I've built carbon 4 and 5 how do the bass series taper differ than the carbon series or any other differences

JDM SLX DC XT

Take a look at lamiglas si 843 blank before buying the NFC blank

2023 Steez A 2tw or 22 zillion hd tw for a dedicated chatterbait reel.

that is cool congats man

just becouse a component is a bit heavier doesnt mean it will couse the blank to be any less or more sensitive, Its about the quality of the material and how its made. For guides i like the fuji titaniumframe guides but will not put anything less than the cc gunmetal stainless steel frame sic guide and what everone says get the smallest guides you can get away with.

im happy to say its my most sesitive rod i have i use it for carolina rigs

how

is there much of a differance between casting distance with the old steez sv tw over the 21 limited steez sv tw any info would be great

the Pike are still active but the bass have not been for a while where i fish

what about heavy cover

im going to buy a new reel and cant decide on the Abu Garcia Zenon MG-LTX or the lews elite pro Ti going to use it as a multi task reel

is the US Zillion HD about the same size in hand as the new JDM Zillion HD

US zillion HD or do you guys have any other recomedations i am going to use a point blank XXHF custom built rod and 20-25 pound flouro to pitch in thick lilys

is there any braid out that doesnt need backing i got some durabraid and looks and feels like it wouldnt slip but i never used braid ever always use flouro for flipping but built a point blank 7'6 xxhf rod and looking to throw in heavey lily pads i need as much thick line as possible thats why i ask about backing and the slippage if you dont

everyone in the north knows that your hands get stiffer and more sensitive when it gets cold

when building a casting rod for yourself or buying a rod for yourself what type of grips do you prefer and why. My favorite grips when building my rods are Winn grips Because they have a nice sticky feel and give me confidence that my hand will not slip during any time even when my hand are wet plu they are just as sensitive as carbon grips

what are all my Wisconsinites using this month for largemouth ang what for smallmouth

lloks like everyone has to do there research on a new rod now. Y'all should to begin with so theres no oops i ordered the wrong rod now i need a new reel for it.
