    Finished my 2nd Custom Stand-up Rod

    I finished up my rod build this past Sunday.

    The rod is made to fish stand-up style, with 40 - 100 lb class tackle.

    Silver and Blue....sure hope she doesn't hook-up interceptions - DOH!

    Blank is a CALSTAR GF700XH (graphite & eglass composite)
    American Tackle aluminum butt & reel seat
    Fuji Titanium "Low Rider" SIC guides
    EVA grips
    UB-40 2 part epoxy rod build cement
    Thread Master thread epoxies
    Flexcoat color preserver
    Madeira & Pro Wrap nylon threads

    The reel is an AVET HX 5/2 MC Raptor 2-speed spooled with 650 yards of 80lb test Momoi Diamond braid line.

    I'll add a 25 - 100 yard section of 50 - 80lb test Fluorocarbon as top shot and she's ready to fish!

          Nice!

          What ever happen to that built custom rods and then screwed over a few TBHer's?
          Can't remember if that ever got resolved....

          Time to go thread hunting
