Burger Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 A mate is making me up a custom blackfish rod which I'm pretty excited about! It's 10'6" one piece, 4 wrap for harbour fishing. I know he told me what blank it is but cant find that right now .. . Here is the initial binding . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfisherman Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Congratulations on the birth of your new rod. May you slay many black fish with it. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 It's an Excel Composite CR4126 and now has grips, reel seat and thin layer of epoxy on wrapping for protection while guides are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquidMarks Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Looks nice with the chevrons laid out. Would like to see the finished product! Im making a custom blackfish rod out of a snyderglas mag bream blank as an experiment just to see how it goes. the once piece will provide great action (i had to opt for the 2 piece for myself for transport reasons ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a beauty.Looking forward to the one piece. Have dad's old split cane rods and an old solid fibreglass, both of which are 3 piece. Also an old 2 piece 10' 'noodle' that still goes pretty good!

macman Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Looks great, so hard to find a decent off the shelf blackfish rod these days, especially if you prefer the open mounts. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
