new rod
 

well i picked up my new rod from mike " saltheart" yesterday and man what a beauty. i could not even guess as to how it would look, until i seen it. awesome i cant wait to use it this weekend. its a lami 120-1l spin. saltheart will be putting up some pictures when he gets the time. mike theres not enough words to say , thank you.:happy:

You are welcome Dennis. Its a great rod for surf fishing. One of the most versatile blanks. I always like building Black and Gold rods. they look so classy when finished. good luck landing a big one with the new rod.

saltheart?
 

Hey Salt,
How Much for a 7'- 9' Surf/boat Casting Rod- ? You wouldn't happen to have ANY pictures of your work? would you?

Do you build anything in the ...$40-$50 Range,,,Even Used Rods???

Please Let me know, i need a New Rod ASAP... :)


Have a good one!

$40-$50 range=Wal-Mart:hs:

add another 0 and your probably closer to what it will cost you

S S X , it took me a long time before deciding what i wanted search and research, and how you fish is very important. what you will use, etc, etc...and believe me it wasnt easy.
ps. caught a small blue mon. lost him in the suds but it was great for the first time on the rod.;)

Sorry buddy but I seldom build rods where my cost on just the blank is in the $50 range. Pretty much I'm only building on Lamis , AllStar and Loomis blanks. I will be looking at some Rainshadows but not sure whether I'll build on them yet.

These rods that people are so happy with have about 20 hours work just in the thread art. I'm not putting that much time into building on anything but the better blanks. If you use Sic guides , it could cost almost 50 bucks just on the guides and reel seat.
