You won't know till you ask - If he had a surplus of Shikari or Cascade rolled Rainshadows, he'd be marketing as such and selling for a premium!

Hogsticker Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 My point was a surplus of something. Maybe somebody should call him and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User S Hovanec Posted January 10, 2016 Super User Share Posted January 10, 2016 No such thing as a surplus of Shikari or USA Rainshadows, you have a gold mine. Well, not quite, but maybe a silver mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogsticker Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 There is a seller on the Bay who has some customs he states are built on Shikari blanks. They sure have been on there awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kash1 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 fmoi@d. You gave a lot of information about the length,Power and Action of the rod you want, but you left out the most important parts, What are you going to be fishing for and How do you plan on using it? Full grips? Split Grips? All 7'M/F rods and blanks are not equal. I build a lot of custom rods and the first thing I ask is What are you fishing for? And How are you going to use it. I do that so i know what type of blank to use. The How will tell me Which Blank to use. Example: A friend wanted me to build him a 7' M/F rod with full handles. I did and he liked the way it looked. Next he tells me the rod is bending to much when he is using it. Comes to find out he is running 3oz bottom bouncers with spinner harnesses on a rod blank meant for 1 1/2 max weight. Knowing the species also helps to select a rod blank type. Fishing for Blue gills you don't need a $220 St.Croix Legend Elite blank, Im6 would be fine for about $30. Bass rods depending what you want to do with it falls in between. More need for sensitivity the more the cost. I just tried to add a picture of some I've made but it was to big a file it told me. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. Post what you are going to use it for and species. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
