FIND yourself on the OCEAN - Lost Pond Rods
This pair have nylon butt sleeves for quick pull from onboard rod holders. Left blank is Glen's - setup as a 30 class stand-up rod. The right rod is Cap'n Timmy's, setup for top water casting baits to tuna.
Not one rod like it in the world - each is unique. This is how I spend my winters - hooking up my fishing compadres. These rods will see some serious action and get fully tested on fish over 100lbs.

Cold rainy weather - perfect for Cabin Fever offshore rod builds! Calstar Grafighter blanks, American Tackle Reel seats, Fuji SIN II Guides, PacBay threads, Threadmaster & Flexcoat thread treatment, AFTCO & Stewart aluminum butts (on two of the four), UB40 Rod Bond cement and a lot of hours each, of custom thread wrap. The best stuff you can buy to build a custom rod......I don't cut corners.
Fuji SIN II ring guide material.....it's the stuff JET TURBINE ENGINE BEARINGS are made of. Heat and wear is no issue.....you can run stainless steel line thru these rings without a single problem, heat and or wear. Better than SIC......it's the NEW NEW.
Stick on the far right, 50 - 80 class stand-up. 80 lb to Unlimited line class blank - it's made for anything swimming in the Gulf of Mexico.
Making friends happy.........the Bob Marley freak on the left, is my 30 wide stand-up stick for Wahoo. Wahoo and Yellowfin offshore trip NEXT MONTH - OH HELLS YEAH!
Next on my list, a 13ft Carolina Cast Pro 3-6 blank - built for PINS Pompano matched to an AKIOS 666 Shuttle reel. This build cast goal, 180 to 200 yard casts. Have one at 12ft that hits 180........this one should push a few more yards. Titanium guides with SIC rings - guides alone run over 200 bucks for the set but, those few ounces of weight saving in TI Steel = Extra yards to bust casts over the 3rd bar on PINS.
Some serious Fishing **** boys!
