Super User Root beer Posted January 12, 2008 Super User Posted January 12, 2008 I went to the fishing expo that's happening this weekend and I end up walking out with a brand new rod and few misc. of baits. It's a custom made rod. Spec: 7'2 Heavy. 1/2-1 1/4 oz weight. 17-25# line. Reinforced guides. Split grip. I'll probably buy a Daiwa Tierra or a Daiwa tournament procaster the blue would look nice with it. ;D Quote

Rest of the rod looks normal. But the guides looks little different from most rods. I didnt get the one with colors all around the graphite. He had some available like that, but I didnt want it.

Shadcranker Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 John Miles is a great guy and an excellent rod builder. I have three of his rods. Quote
dale Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 looks like a thru-grip to me..split grip is 2 parts with a exposed blank...correct me if I am wrong. Dale Quote
Super User Root beer Posted January 14, 2008 Author Super User Posted January 14, 2008 Looks nice - what was the damage $$ He sold it to me for 89.99. If I ordered one compelety customized it would've been even more expensive. Like If I picked the guides, colors, etc. It would've been like 120. But since he just made this rod with his own creation. So it basically a rod he made him self and put up for sale. But I call it a custom rod, because he made it by hand rather then a manufactor. I cant wait to use this bad boy. I'm put a jig on it.
