Custom Bream Master

[Hoody]

Check this out fellow raiders. Completed two days ago.

7'6 Extra Fast Taper Bream Rod 2-5kgs (probably can handle a little more than a good bream.)

Used a St Croix Blank.

EVA Camo grips

Fuji metal parts around the grip (winding checks etc etc)

Deluxe Fuji VSS Soft Touch Reel Seat

Guides are Amtaks with Nanolite Ring combination of A Frames and Fly.

Only the second rod i've built. Pretty happy with it.

Not really easy to make out all the features from these crappy photos, but if you raiders have any advice, let me know.

Cheerio

O and that real is a Shimano Symetre with 6lb fireline on it.

Looks good mate well done. How much did it set you back.

Ps, I reckon for the cash those symetre's are about the best bang for your buck

Sure looks the goods.

At least the fish wont be able to see you with those cammo grips

Just have to blood it now.

How many hours do you reckon it took you to complete?

Cheers

All up, i'd say around $300.

Took it for a quick spin on the weekend. Rod and reel is a beaut.

Around 10 hrs labour time. There is alot of waiting in between as you could understand. Waiting for epoxy to dry etc.

Was well worth the effort.
