Off The Rack...

[Jethro]

Just thought I would share with you all my latest rod creation...

Its built on a Forecast SP844 7ft blank.

This was going to be a new spinnerbait rod for me.... but my brother decided he wanted a baitcaster for his 30th so what can you do..

The grip

Hook holder.... tried to get a bit fancy here

Stripper guide... (if thats the right term)

Other guide..

Next cab off the rank will either be a new 5wt for me or a mate wants a new spin stick..... decisions, decisions..

Great work Jethro - that's a hell of a professional looking finish.

Must be very satisfying to see your handiwork come out looking so good.

Do you mind if I ask how much a rod like that costs you to build? Looks like something I might enjoy getting into!!

Hey Jethro,

Where can I put my order in for a new 7' flick stick and how much ..... I'm looking for another so I can have a "plastics" rod and a "hard body" rod rigged up so I don't have to swap lures, just pick up another outfit

That's a really nice job mate.

Cheers

David.

Thanks guys

I am very happy with the finished product.... pitty its being shipped up to my brother I was looking forward to getting stuck into a few Glenbawn bass with it... But my brother is only 30 once

Do you mind if I ask how much a rod like that costs you to build?

I had a mate coming out from the states and I got him to bring a few blanks, guides, etc with him so it worked out a lot cheaper than if you were to buy the bits here. From memory all the components were around $120.
