BARBARIAN..the solid carbon

This solid carbon blank is not my cup of tea...  😃

It's a tough blank but heavy. 

Building it as light as possible with ALPS skeleton reel seat for spinning setup.

Fuji K-guides

The handle without the butt cap

The Killing Rod...

Missed out the photo of the butt view....

Project " Rosenbergii II "

A quick overview of another rosenbergii rod that I built before my fishing / prawning trip over the weekend.

The blank used was a solid carbon fiber blank measured at 4'8" and ultralight rated.

Carbon insert SG-reel seat with butt-less EVA rear grip and fuji winding check capped at the front of the reel seat.

ALPS stainless steel frame with zirconium ring spinning guides.

Guides lined up placement similar to KR-concept

Pending epoxy coating.

Another view of the guide layout after epoxy.

All these 3 are good for UL fishing and prawning..
