boat rod, conventional

I checked the rod I made for my boat a few years ago. Its 6' 8".....80inches so not exactly the same.

From tip heading back to reel...first eye is 6", second eye is 13.25, third eye is 21", fourth eye is 30.25" and final eye is 40.25".

I do not have proper paper work to say what size the eyes are called but here is details
Rod has roller tip ID is 3/10 inch
First, second and third eye are ID 3/10 inch
4th is ID 4/10 inch
5th is ID 5/10 inch

I strongly recommend roller tip if you're going to use wire...plus eyes appropriate for wire (such as Carbaloy).

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
