St Croix RAGE wannabe...

This rod was built following the design of St Croix Rage. Using a SCII  6'6" 10-17lb blank for this rod.



Used PacBay Minima casting reel seat and EVA full rear grip.




The design intend was just bare exposed blank at the split grip. But somehow or rather, I made mistake along the way and have to remove the reel seat.

In the process of remove the reel seat, the exposed blank portion was 'injured' and I had to use the carbon tubing to conceal the damages.

That is why you can see the carbon tube at the exposed area of the split grip.




Fuji K-guide series was used for this rod. The small ring size is #5 and the top is of Fuji SiC.





A closer view on the K-guides which have been epoxied.




Rod ready for action



Matching the rod





Put it to test at Air Ganda last month and it was great. Pairing it with Ryoga 1016L lined with a 20lb Camo spyderwire and it casted nicely.




Actually this rod was for a friend, but since it was injured and slightly damaged at exposed blank near the reel seat , I have no choice but to keep it for own use.

Watch out... another TWINS of this will be coming soon......  :)
