My little gem. It so small feels like an egg in my hand. Have not decided which rod to pair with. And suggestions would be great appreciate.

Shimano Scorpion XT. 90 mm Semper Fi carbon handle, Hedgehog Studio deep purple dress up parts and Air spool bearings. Custom built Batson Rainshadow RX7 with thread wrap colors to match reel.

Here's what I've been working on. I've got a few Lews baitcasters, and some spinning gear in the closet.

Pictured: Daiwa PXL-R on a G. Loomis GL2, Daiwa Alphas Ito 103L on a Tatula rod, and 2 Daiwa Zillion 100HSL reels on Duckett Micro Magic rods.

My humble collection.

Someone is nosing over to the swim bait world.....

In case the boater gives him problems j/k lol

It's actually a Cutco Fishernans Friend. Adjustable fillet knife, line cutter, hook sharpener. Pretty useful. If you don't know what you need a good knife for, then I don't know what for, lol.

Finally got around to installing a few more HawgTech handles

You have a kitchen on your ceiling!

I know! It's weird because when you click to enlarge it, it goes right side up. Technology??

I love it, once you start moving to longer handles it's really hard to go back. At least for me.
