BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted March 18, 2015 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted March 18, 2015 My sister has recently discovered that she actually likes bass fishing. I taught my nephew to fish about 5 years ago and mom has been tagging along. She has fished with me several times and last July we had a really good weekend and she boated bass number 6 of her lifetime, seen below. She really has the bug now and for her birthday I am building her a Mag Bass Spinning Rod. The fish that gave her the fever. Starting the layout 7' MH MHX MB843 blank Custom Painted Fuji SKSS reel seat in "Cherry Blossom" MicroWave Nanolite guides Grips I'm still trying to decide - probably going to be my first set of custom cork grips I'm going to pair it with a Revo S20 reel that is black and white 3 Quote

I better not let the wife see something like what your building. If you want one for her I will trade a rod build at cost for jigs and rage baits at cost. Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted March 19, 2015 Author BassResource.com Advertiser Posted March 19, 2015 Since I have not yet produced a custom cork grip I'm happy with and pushed for time, I decided on a SK2 split grip. Since that grip doesn't mate up with a spinning reel seat I had to do some fine tuning. 5 minutes later Final mock up 2 Quote

a1712 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 That looks great with the seat. Good job of matching them up. Hard to do? Brian. Quote
