Lightest UL spinning rod I have ever built

This is a one piece MHX-S781 rated at 2-6lb UL blank.
Using Fuji skeleton reel to keep this rod as light as possible.



Not sure whether to fix the locking nut in front or at the back and how to treat the blank section in between the skeleton reel seat.

I believe having the locking nut in front would be more comfortable to hold and decided also to have an EVA form insert between the reel seat.



Shaped the rear EVA grip and reduced the diameter of the EVA fighting butt for this UL spinning rod.


Completed butt section of this UL MHX spinning rod.



Fuji winding checks are use to finished off the split grip and the reel seat locking screw area.



K-guides are selected for this rod.
