Another rod build

[ryan808]

While wrapping a few rods for some of our fellow OFFers, I figured why not a swimbait rod for me. I ended up painting a XMG blank pearl white and decided to go with a wrap less look. Wrapping pearl thread on the pearl blank turned out to be a pretty cool combo, the wraps look invisible.

TR, not as nice as the monster I brought down last week. I wanted something more subtle than those 5 lb throwing machines :lol:

Well am gonna put the reel on here in a few TR had his on before I left ! We will have to see who gets out first to try them and find out but I believe TR was smiling so far ? They are awesome and the spinner is a feather , once again I am floored by the quality . Thanks Ryan !

thats sweet dude what are the technical stats, like rod rating line rating weight rating etc... length? if you make one for really big baits make sure to make it have a really long handle atleast past your elbow by a few inches from the reel seat in your palm, that is sweet though dude! great job!
