Rapid Reduction Layouts

[Yudi]

Yup, 1201M is next. It will be NGC/hybrid with BSVLG's to reduce and transition into MN10's, in a NGC/hybrid type layout.... Once I figure out what I want to do with the handle and reel location.

The 120L is and will be my primary here in CT, but when the wind kicks up, especially in the fall migration I need something that can punch a cast better. Of course it will double for rock fields where I need to turn a fish quickly as well. Conceptually, I need something that will cover over the top side of the 1201L in ability to punch some weight and turn a fish. But since it isn't the norm. for me, I don't want the 11' for all its weight.

It must be rock hopping ready, and I will be going with a layout I know is up for the challenge with double foot guides.

I would consider re-wrapping both 120's iKR concept if double foot steel guides were offered. I do like what it does for the rod and tip weight.

i finished the rod yesterday. going to let it sit for a few days then maybe play around with it.

regarding single footed guides and durability. i have the same concerns but they're really baseless according to my experience. in all my time fishing jetties back in nj the only time that i had any issues with any guides was when i fell on the rocks. when that happens it won't matter what guides are on the rod, so i'm not too concerned about this one and fishing it hard.

Beautiful workmanship.
The real issue with single foot guides is in transport. When fishing they are fine.
