I needed a rod put together and as it turned out, we have a forum member that is very capable (KVS) and is here in the metromess..
The rod started out as an 8'6 Rainshadow Blank sw1027. Very nice blank. All guides are K guides with a size 30 stripper down to a size 7 alconite tip top. Reel seat is an aluminum fuji ns7. Rear grip is spiral wrapped with xrap heat shrink. Rod was built in horned frog colors! Go Frogs!
Kevin did a hell of a job. A few tweeks to be made but that's my fault.. quality build..

Kevin made a few adjustments for me and the rod is awesome! He added some color to the reel seat and lowered the seat a little

Looks like that'll put some filets in the freezer!

I got into building my own rods this past winter. Doubt I'll be buying another store-bought rod for a long time.

Had the rod made for cobia and kings. Will also use it for tossing large jerks and tops to striper

Thanks. Had fun with the build.

awesome looking rod, great worksmanship.
I helped my dad build custom rods as a kid, lot of fun.
