I built this rod last winter and just didn't get around to using it much this year. It has maybe 3 outings under its belt. It is rated for lures of 1 to 4 ounces but can go lower as well as higher on each end of its range. The rod is wrapped spinning with alconite K-frame guides transitioning to alconite standard frame runners and matched well with both my VS150 and VS250 reels, so it can handle a range of reel sizes. The grips are wrapped with cork tape with X-flock over them. I can get some pics and additional specs if there is interest. I am asking $300 obo for the rod. I would prefer not to ship but will do so at owner's expense. I live in the Hartford, CT, area but can meet at a reasonable location for delivery.

I'm interested Toby. Can you post a few pics?

toby can you ship it?

Here are some pictures. The rear grip is 21 inches from butt cap to base of reel seat, the fore grip is 6.5 inches long. Guides are wrapped blue with holographic gold trim on the inside and gold/white tri-mar outside on the collector guides, tri-mar outside trim for the runners. The rod is signed T.LAPINSKI and 2013 in the short buttwrap and the reel seat is a DPS 18 with frosted silver hoods. I just gave the rod a good once-over and it could practically pass for brand new as there are very few signs of use.

toby can you ship it?

Where are you located? The tube is going to need to be 6.5 feet long so it will cost a few bucks but might be able to do it if no one locally wants the rod.

I will take it. ill pm you later. Thanks!
