    Default New Blank build


    I had a lot of guys ask me about a 6'6" rod and I found a Blank I think will fit the bill. I started building it and have about got it done. Some things happen in life and I have had to step anyway form my house. But when I get my rod wrapper set back up I'm going to finish the rod and do a give away. Really I just wont someone to tell me what you will think about the blank. I'm hard headed and know what I like, so I want to hear what someone else thinks. Send me a message on why you need a new casting rod and I will pick the most in need. Its a 6'6" 2 to 6 lb line class rod.

    Looks very nice. I have the same handle set up but mine is cork. Looking forward to seeing who winds up with it.

    Hey sometimes we all need a helping hand and after my last two weeks dealing with a brake up it puts things in perspective. Hopefully someone will be given a little joy when they need it.

    The did the reverse of that color a few years ago for a CDC member (Orange on black) and really loved it. I've been waiting for the right project to do it again on.

    Somebody gonna get a nice surprise. River so high and running so hard here that it’s hard to fish.

    The more I handled that rod the more I wanted to keep it, but I know its going to a good home. The orange and black look really good together.

    I built a rod and 20 years ago for flounder. It was a very enjoyable project. I need to build a crappie rod sometime soon

    Great looking build
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    Great build. Looks great. I know you plan to give it away, but you deserve something nice for yourself.
