One isn't a build but...
I had a 10' CTS 1008 with the reel seat over 30" from the butt. I fished it all last season and it was manageable but uncomfortable at times. Decided to move the seat this winter and redo the grip to a Paco grip. Got the reel seat epoxied last night and cut the shrink tonight. Will have the cork this weekend and can spiral the blank.
The other is an actual build. Glb1081mh blank I bought and couldn't sell as a blank so I decided to build it for a fellow CSA member. The pic is intentionally covering up some items I'd like to keep to myself until I deliver the rod. Same grip system and waiting for the cork on this one.
Guide layout is going to be experimental as the buyer has agreed to do some test casting before we wrap the guides. I am planning on using an LC collector and K guides after. I'm liking the potential of that setup and I'll post some results once it hits the water.
