Spring is coming up and bank fishing should be hot with this sucker....
Custom 9'6 casting rod super fast action.... weighs roughly 4oz Kept the bling to a minimal for weight reduction. Can cast a 1/2oz jig or rattletrap to mars.

I'll take that combo off of you! I just recently paired a TD-Sol with a Kistler 7ft med and 8lb fluoro for dropshotting and light cranks. How much would a rod like that run?

yea. kistlers are real nice. i was thinking about getting one.

this rod blank is 240 plus all the components roughly 350. ... around there.

Can't go wrong with them. I believe the rod I'm throwing the Sol on is the Custom Crankbait Special. I've never had a baitcasting reel that could cast such small lures. That is a really sick looking set up though.

Nice!! I custom built a rod on Kistler's website and wound up being 600 bucks with some bling. Needless too say its on my wish list.

I have a Shimano Citica. Only reason I have it is I was having my Revo s, purchased in 2007, spooled at Academey and the guy dropped it and knocked the paint off of it, so they let me swap so I chose the Citica.

I can launch a weightless lizard on 14lb Trilene XT a country mile. I was shocked. Aside from the Citica being a little on the light side for my liking, it is really a sweet reel.

What blank is that?

Wilson,very nice rod!!!

For fishing on the bank i have build one spinning rod 10'4" on fly blank ALL STAR AUSTIN 9',W10.+extension(KISTLER HELIUM LTA).
The weight of this rod is 5.3oz. and fishing just with artificials i was catching very nice fish.

You can see this rod in this picture when i was fighting with one big black drum on jig at ROLLOVER PASS
