BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted January 25, 2015 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted January 25, 2015 After emailing Brian a few times and talking to him last week we have come up with a design. He had been planning what he calls the "perfect spinnerbait rod" for several years and now I'm going to build it for him. Blank; Mudhole HM-SB812-MHX Reel Seat; Fuji SK2 Split Grip Reel Seat, Black with Black Aluminum Hood with Silver Accents Handle; SK2 Rear Grip RGSK 1617 SK2 Fighting Butt BGK485E No Foregrip Guide Train; Spiral Wrap, Fuji Micro Guide Stripping Guide; 5mm KR Concept Alconite Transition Guide; 4.5 mm KR Concept Alconite Running Guides; 4mm KR Concept Alconite Belly Guides Tip Top; 4.5mm FUJI SIC Dimpled Aluminum Winding Checks Silver Charcoal Grey Prowrap with Bright Silver Trim Wrap If he does not like it, great I will keep it for myself and build him another one. This is going to be a BAD A ROD! Here we go. 7 Quote
EvanT123 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 That's sounds like one sweet rod. Really digging the black and silver theme. I'm excited too see this take shape. 1 Quote

a1712 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Ordered the Morrum ZX1600, just don't know when it will get here. Really looking forward to this, and I don't get to excited about many things. Brian. 2 Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Finish is the hardest step of the whole process and micro guides don't make it any easier. If I can offer a suggestion, you can use the edge of a sheet of paper to wick the excess off around the tunnels in front of the guide. That's a nice build for a good cause. Quote

I used a dry brush to get it after the pic but a sheet of paper would have been easier. How busy are you? I've got some reels I want to send you to clean and tune. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 It's seasonally busy. Turn around is about 4 weeks as of today. I see fr your location you have open water so I'll rush whatever you send. Thanks. Quote
