While waiting for the reel seat for my #6 bamboo rod, I decide to kick off my pilot project - fiberglass casting rod. I purchased this blank from Mudhole.. yup the biggest fishing rod components supplier in the State.
This 7' long fiberglass rod blank has a line weight of 8~20lb and got a 'BIG' butt.. 0.775" in diameter, that is almost 19.7mm. I ordered all the components for this rod as well.
I shorten this blank slightly. Took away 3" to make the butt slightly smaller.
I have just fitted the cork grips and the reel seat on the blank. Yet to glue it up. Still got so much more to do..
