F5 Custom Rods

[22RangerZ520R]

Just got my five F5 custom swimbait rods in and wow....  Big shout out to Brad at F5 Custom Rods, the rods are stunning and flawless!  Anyone looking for a swimbait rod you need to get with Brad at F5!

 

Got them paired up with Calcutta Conquest 400A's and now just have to get them out and put them to the test!

In my opinion, Brad makes the best swimbait rods on the market. I've had 2, and even though I rarely bust out the swimbait box anymore, I kick myself for selling one off. 

 

Those are absolutely gorgeous rods. What are the specs?

Looks excellent. I was eyeballing the F5 Autism rods a while back because they look really cool, but I don't throw swimbaits enough to justify it. Definitely high quality builds.

Nice! Are those the MVT blank?

Look great, good workmanship, stunning set of swimbait rods/reels. The only critiques I have functionally is the short fore grip / locking ring and extra long handles wouldn't work for me but I am not using them. Long handles are great for distant casting, get in the way of clothing retreiving lures with my short arms. I hold rods in front of the reels Oldschool.

Enjoy them and catch some big bass. Good custom rods are the only way to go.

Thanks! 

 

I love the long handle, I tuck it under my armpit.  I'm 6'4" / 255lb and have long arms.
