New Custom Stick

[rocheleauc]

So a few months ago I decided I wanted a smaller rod since I normally fish the east and found the 14 footer I've been using was a little too big for my liking.

I did some research and decided to get a rod built on the 11'6, 6-10# rainshadow xst blank. I got in touch with Dimitri (Despotiko) who built it and this is the end result.

Guides are recoils, tied with red metallic thread to match my imperial. Cork was turned by him as well. Rosewood reel seat and butt cap.

Overall for my first custom I think it was excellent work. Everything was done exactly how I wanted it.

Just a little longer until salmon, and then a few more months until steelhead..patiently waiting.

Cheers.

Nice looking Setup!


I can bet with the boost in Confindence (Your "Own Personalised stick") you'll be slayin them.

Most guys have been going longer ... and you've gone the other way.

That's all about personal feel.


Instead of "Waiting", why not get out there and try HER out on some big fat Carp?

.... lol or is SHE salmoniod exclusive?
