AFAW Rods
 

Just got done building my first Any Fish Any Where (AFAW ) Rod . I have to tell you this is the most perfect rod blank I have ever seen. Most rods have a bend to them about ½” + thru out the rod. The AFAW Blank had ZERO deflection. Tobias you’re going to love it. Hope you go large with it.

Thumb-Burner you got a great product there. You will do well with them keep up the good work.

I got to throw one of these from a freind that had just built his recently...damn fine heaver...will be nice for jigging the canal or throwing heavy weight & Bait...


Mine is on the way

:happy: :happy: :happy: :thanks:

Remember to put the 12 footer aside for me too.

Tobias I saw your rod today. All I got to say is Nice. Correction Damn nice.

:drool: :drool: :drool:
Can't wait to see it. Just in time for my Cutty trip:happy:

May I ask how much for the blank and whats it rated for?

I saw the web site. Looks interesting. It comes from the UK. Want is the warrenty like and how is it priced?

guess we'll be out there same time ... let me try.. damm ,, guess I need another rod ..

Um, I can tell you that it fights a small bluefish very well when you're holding the rod in one hand and the reel in the other :rotf3: :hihi:

Up locking reel seat :wall:. Make sure you check it for tightness every few casts because if you have big hands like mine, the heel of your hand can loosen it.

I did manage to get the fish in with JP's help.

Just goes to show ya.......

How two educated guys can turn a nice rod and an excellent reel into a first class handline.

Oh, the review?

This rod can cast. I babied my casts for awhile, then I finally laid into one--not full out, but close. It threw a 3 oz tin well past halfway, using a Daiwa 20 SHA and 65# Sufix braid. Which is pretty thick stuff.

The rod was wrapped with spinning guides, and it was the 12' model.

thanks for the kind words mike
 

some new developments coming soon.. prototypes of a new AFAW line of rods are on the way to me... there are five new rods.. 9 through 13'ers... retail on the 9'er will be around 150 i believe and about 225 for the 13'er...

I'll post details when i have them, but these will obviously not have the same components and blanks as our current line (which we will obviously continue to offer) but should prove to be an excellent value..

more to come.

Again, for those of you interested, contact Mike at Cape Cod or Big Dave if you are interested in rods or blanks.

:rotfl: I'd liked to have watched that:D

Where can we find the info on these?

Check out the sponsor link at the top of the page.

Hey Kevin, I'll have three of the rods with me at Cutty if you want to cast them. I might have a fourth, we'll see:D

So would I--it would have beat doing it :rotfl:

Thanx Tobias....I'll give it a whirl while I'm out there.

Hey Mac

I made sure to stand behind as I was watching. as Jim said. it took two to land that blue with a hand line. Just had to shake my head and smile.

Tobias,
I'd love to give it a try..probably Mikey, too.

Will the UPTIDE make a good spinning rod for the canal to throw surface and metal lures?

Oh Yeah,
I'll probably be looking for the 14'

:rotflmao:

I think it will make a great canal stick. I picked up the stick from Mike for Andy and brought it up. If I had been thinking I would have brought a reel down with me and made a few casts. Rod seems very crisp and should throw 2 to 4 very well.

Not a problem, you guys can try it out too. I'll have the Estuary, Uptide, and Surf and maybe the Universal with me at Cutty.

:thanks: Mike! The wrap job you did on the Uptide is absolutely perfect. Thanks again!

Now this would have made a great U-tube how to...

All that and about 600 plugs...I hope the guy with the truck shows up at the dock!!:bl:

Keep in mind the ferry now charges 10 cents a pound for what you bring over, remember competition is good and the competition is gone ;)

What's up Adam :wavey:
