Guest Saqa Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Hi Polar I do a rod which I call bream UL. This is very thin and light weight with an extremly fine tip. The blank is 6'6" and 2 pc. This rod gets amazing distance with the smallest jig heads and tiny hard bodies like rebel crawdads in the smallest size. Here is a phot of one with a shimano symetre 2000. This is an absolute delight to use. $170 for the rod with the bamboo burl cork and real carbon fibre barrel reel seat with gold hoods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pk-fishn Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 saqa whats the lure weight range for that rod??? that cork has a deep colour!! very neat.. cheers pk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saqa Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Thanks Saga Thats one sweet looking rod - do you do a one piece This blank is only availbale as a 2 pc and it doesnt take anythng away from it in feel or durability. There are similar blanks in one pc but that means to get the same tip action the but is a lot more bulky and the overall rod changes in character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saqa Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 saqa whats the lure weight range for that rod??? that cork has a deep colour!! very neat.. cheers pk as a spin model 1-10g The cork is called bamboo burl and is very grainy and knotty. The colour in this photo is natural for this material and becomes even deeper once the sealer is applied. I can also tint the sealer with golden teak stain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polar Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hi Anthony can't be 100% sure but they did have plenty of 6'6" and I think there was maybe 2 x7ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
