  • Pluggin Rod

    After spending countless hours in the rod blank section at FTU, I finally decided what blank I would use for my go to corky/topwater rod. I chose a SJ 782 (6'6) gloomis GLX blank. Did not put alot of crap on it, just wanted a simple rod with good components. I used a bubble grip from batson, black recoil eyes and a fuji reel seat. It actually turned out pretty light, can't wait to test it out.

              Looks good TTU! Do you have much experience with the Recoil guides on braid? I've only used non-ceramic guides on fly rods, just curious.

                      It works fine, it's noisy though when you cast...

By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary.
