Everyone has different styles when it comes to making or using tackle. For rod building, reel repair or general maintenance, this is the place for it.

Default Newest Rod

Started building this rod a few weeks ago, the blank is a American Tackle viper series AVGC66H 6'6", 30-60lb line, rated 1-6oz.

Instead of putting cork or EVA on i just did a diamond wrap and epoxied over, mainly cuz im just using this rod for piers and ouit of kayak.
The guides are fuji alconites with a SIC tip on it.










Paired the rod off with a new Shimano Sustain 6000 loaded with 50lb power pro.

Cant wait to test this thing out tommorow.
