corey90 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCFinesse Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I built a bushido CB72/6-12 specifically for wiggle warts, rock crawlers, and small cranks in the Ozarks... I put pac bay minima guides and made a big knobby burl split grip for it... That rod fits so well for the application... A sneaky one I really ended up liking was a custom rod components AHX72H in teal with large black camo EVA split grip. It was an inexpensive build, it looks kinda obnoxious, but it has just the right action for a big worm. - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twofishy4u Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Currently I am in love with my 6'6" light power point blank. Setup in a spinning configuration paired with a 2000 tatula reel. Super sensitive and light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User S Hovanec Posted July 11 Super User Share Posted July 11 No matter how many I build, I keep going back to the 5S69mlxf St Croix I built many moons ago, even though I gave it to my wife when I built a replacement on the newer 6-10 blank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 There are two very close. One is a casting rod on an original Rodgeeks c473 MHXS. The soft tip and good backbone are a unique and versatile mix. My favorite was not on a high end blank but fished great. It was an MHx 6’9” MLxf DS blank with a Tennessee handle on carbon fiber tube. It had my Minima guides and an Alconite tip top. The experiment of the spinning rod was to build a high performance rod on a budget. Both have since been sold to customers.

Super User MickD Posted Saturday at 09:41 PM Super User Share Posted Saturday at 09:41 PM Point Blank 701MLF built as a spin, split grip, Fuji KLH to KB/KT runners. Super rod for finesse, and just about everything else within its power range. Power is what many would consider medium (CCS numbers) but it fishes like a ML and M power. It's so good I built one for a very good friend whom I owed a favor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoonplugger1 Posted Sunday at 05:24 AM Share Posted Sunday at 05:24 AM My Rainshadow IC847-3 rod, now that I think of it, would be a tossup for the rod mentioned above, a much more versatile multispecies fresh and salt rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
