Complete with St Croix grips, Fuji guides and Kegan hook keeper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have to use precise placement in order to keep the line off the blank? Rod looks awesome! Great work! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2017 There's isn't an exact angle for each guide, but they normally end up at about 45,100,180 degrees or there abouts is what keeps the line off the blank. Looks good flexed out, nice smooth transition to the bottom of the rod. Reason for soing it is that it eliminates the rod/reel wanting to torque to the side when fighting a big fish. They look funny, but works really nicely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
