As far as I know, Jim and Del are the guys who design them. I think Jim was Ark's brain at one point. He's a master at building rods. I hope to become a student of his someday if he'll allow it. My buddy lives next door to Del and Jim and I have long talks whenever we meet. Good to know we're talking to the right guys. I also love that Denali is down the road. And Jewel baits. This is Disneyworld for a gear geek like me.

Okay here we go. My final setups after testing and taking in the advice from here.
