What rod do you like????

One thing I've found with the rating - it varies greatly from brand to brand.

I've seen light action rated for 3-5 ozs - medium rated for 1 -2 ozs.

I think it all boils down to finding a rod that " feels " right for how you fish.

Shawn - old school trick - we used to cut away the foam on the underside of the fore grip. This let fingers touch the blank for a better feel.

I have done a few of these as well with the Eva foam and I used a rat tail file to do it and it does a great job. I have even done a cork fore grip and I think it came out nice, just ask Josh K about this one....

Steve, build a rod on this blank GF600XL. I have used it on mullet, flounder, black drum, tog, cbass basically u name it. Light, senstive w/plenty of backbone. I can really yank them tog outa their home.

Rob, I have built 2 of the Calstar rods for guys but they both were trolling rods. Never tried a jigging rod, don't you want another one.....I can make the handles blue for ya.
