thefunkychicken 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Gday.I've crapped on about this particular rod in a previous post and I won't miss the opportunity to do so again...Here goes:I've built one of these for a mate (see previous thread), after another mate seing it and having a play with it he then insisted he must have one too... and quick-smart! Yesterday was his deadline as he was heading away for the Easter break (lucky bastard). I was able to get it finished last week and delivered to him yesterday morning. I too had a fish with the original one and it was fantastic on Whiting and handled Snapper to 6kg without any problems when used with restraint. The blank is extremely light, very sensitive but still has ample power when needed. I can't wait to get cracking on the one I'm keeping for myself.The details:2 piece, 6'6", 6-12lb St Croix SCV Graphite with Fuji Alconite guides.Hopefully I'll be able to get my one done soon and post up some reports of it's success.Cheers.

thefunkychicken 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Gday.I was having some trouble with the pictures. Previously I've been able to include the photos (reduced in KB size) in the actual post. These ones are in the small link at the bottom and they look to be a bit crappy and not reflective of the quality of finish on this rod.Thanks for the comment though.Cheers.

jagger 24 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Very nice rod !I'm sure it can handle a lot more than 6kg to ! High sticking it out of a boat is another story all together.I landed a 8.81kg Cod today on a 2piece Starlo stix that I had snapped the tip off.Never doubted it and it was the reel (2000 Freams Kix) that was lacking. Mind you on 4lb line I was never going to give it too much drag !Moral of the story...play them out and you WILL win no matter how underated the stick thefunkychicken 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
