Since I’ve been playing with the rod wrapper decided to build a 9ft jigging rod. She’s turning out pretty good. Still have to build a butt and put the bookkeeper and trim bands after I cut a name decal, and put the flex coat on. As of now it’s perfectly balanced at the handle with the little B&M reel. So what should I name this beauty?

Very nice. What blank did you use?
Thats on a hmx jigging blank I don’t remember witch one I got 5 on sale back last year
I like it. How about “ soft lips “
Nice work. Definitely a good job on those wraps. Where did you get the hmx blanks?
I've been looking at building a 9 - 11 ft. light action rear seat rod myself. "Looking" is the right word. I'm looking at a F902MHX blank from LurePartsOnline. I just want to build one with my specs and something I can use to pull sacalait out of canals and cypress stumps down here in South Louisiana from my back of the truck pond prowler.
Hey! And thank you. If you want a hmx mudehole.com is the best place to get them and honestly finding jigging rod blanks is hard. The one I got is a pf1082ml- mhx 9’ 2 serial# is pf4d1662d for me its a little light for dipping grass mats but for jigging open water trees and bridges it’s the perfect balance of a soft tip and some back bone with 4 pound line. I put a 13 fishing free fall in-line ice fishing reel on it and it’s about and good of a combo as I’ve found for that.
