Just the HANDLES

Nothing much happening in the month of April 2015, just the reconfiguration of the MEGABASS rod and building up 2 rod handles.

The 2 heavy heavy blanks and the required components are flown in from Miri, Sarawak.

Building up a cork grip for a big rod is not as simple for fly rods or normal fishing rods although the procedures of making the cork handle were meant to be same.

This is the only photo of the rod which I just manage take before it was wrapped up for shipment.

                                          

MHX 6'6" 12-25lb Heavy Lifter

I managed to finish a couple of rods before closing up for 2015.



 

This is another 12-25lb 6'6" for heavy cover. A simple built for its' functionality and within the budget given.

The components consisted of a Fuji ACS reel seat, KDPS, MHX blanks, ALPS zirconium ring guides, CAMO EVA and a MATAGI butt cap.

NFC Heavy PURPLE spin

This rod is similar to the BLUE NFC which I built earlier. Just some minor difference with the EVA handles and components.
