Blank model SJ782 MHX at 6'6" of length and rated 6-12lb. This is the 2nd SJ782 blank I used to build a bait casting rod. It has got nice tip action and a strong backbone.
Matagi components are used for this built.
Open front with carbon tube fore grip on KDPS, mounted on a FUJI ACS reel seat. Split EVA handle on the clear carbon tube.
I finished off the open front of the reel seat with an aluminum trim.
A final check on the back spine of the blank before the guides goes on it
