The blank used for this rod is from United Composite, it is 5'6" in length rated at 4-10 pound. Custom built to be a single hand casting rod with cork grip split handle.
I have never tried doing a split handle for single hand casting grip as it is only around 5" long but no harm trying.
Fuji skeleton trigger reel seat with aluminum insert and screw from Matagi.
Done with the little fighting butt and on with the rear grip.
MATAGI butt cap
Lathed rear cork grip
Fitting the handle
Fuji guide setting
Trying out the new Fuji titanium RV guide. It was said to have a faster and smoother line control when casting. It is very light and perfectly sized to work with any low profile bait casting reel.
After epoxy.
Guides layout
And for the fine touch... as usual I will apply the cork seal to the cork handle.
A photo showing before and after the Cork Seal was applied to the cork handle.
You will not see much difference aesthetically and it feels the same too, but it gives you better protection to the cork handle and prolong its' life span.
It took about 6 weeks to complete this, hope its' owner is happy about having his ideas turning into reality.
