My new Canal Rod Blank just came in. this is the one I posted about earlier which is autoclaved (Hot Isostatically pressed?)
Its awesome , very powerful , I bet it could handle 8 without breaking but tops for me jigging is 5 so that's easy. Hope it loads well with 3 OZ also since that's my bread and butter , I'm going to try to have it built for the MSBA Show. Biggest decision is going to be how long to cut it. The tip won't get touched but the butt is not tapered so I can cut it anywhere I want. Currently I use 10 feet. I know I can handle 10'6" cause the 1266 Smokey uses is 10'6". I am tempted to go 11 feet. Its currently just under 12 but that's pretty long.
Anyway , a new toy for this season!
