:fish: hi guys and gulls
just wanted to let you and dave know that i have selected the rod blank that he will recieve.
7ft 8 with a smooth butt ,fugi hvy graphite seat #11 tip, i have the butt and seat assembled, i will start the thread work possible tomorrow.
the rod that i selected will be custom for dave as it will be built for a person who can and needs to be able to fish more versitle than some one who owns a boat and can go off shore at their lesiure :idea: now he can fish the jettys as well as do a little surf casting, when he gets a chance to go off shore, he will be able to go for kings, dorado,cobia and could even sneak in a little snapper bite if he gets the chance.
i feel if he goes with say a calcutta type reel say something in the 700 size he will fare well.
i did not want to build a rod so big and hvy that he would be limited to a boat type fishing trip.
this is one of the nice things about a custom rod kinda all around type, i am sure he will find it very versitile and funictional.
i will install titatium guides as well, so just look to hear from ole blue water soon.
thanks to all for being part of my free rod offer, and thank you mont for allowing it:cheers:
later guys gotta get ready to go out of town to a fishing cl;ub to give a rod demo and talk custom rods, orta be fun it is most times.
