Might have to put off the next rod build though.

F*** that then hahahaha

The model I'd go with is the 2025

jon, ben gave me the cash to cover this. swing by sometime.

MarkT · February 05, 2015, 04:59:26 PM

Ben, what are you looking to use the rod for in terms of both line weight and actual usage? Helps in suggesting an appropriate reel.

alantani · February 05, 2015, 07:04:09 PM

i think we have him covered. ben bought a pair of terez rods a couple of weeks ago, then got a gold trinidad 16 narrow from bryan and a standard width gold trinidad 16 from me. he's set up now for 30 and 40#. he's got his daiwa lexa to go on the vadney rod. maybe ben will post up photos.

MarkT · February 05, 2015, 07:12:22 PM

Good call. I was thinking that a Lexa would look good on that rod too. No need for a $500 JDM Daiwa to get a reel to match.

Alans Buddy · February 05, 2015, 10:45:07 PM

Thanks all for the help!

Alans Buddy · February 08, 2015, 09:12:45 PM

Thanks for dropping off the rod.
Even better in person!

Jon, killer rod again

Ben I don't see your name on the SOA list ?? Your going to need to find a place to use all the gear your getting...Nice rod, congrats.

Tim

Thanks Tim.
I need to get Alan a check the next time I see him.

alantani · February 09, 2015, 05:49:57 AM

it's going to get interesting, because somehow i did not ask for that time off. i am apparently the "third" request for a vacation at that time. worst case, tim, you get to be charter master. we should be able to work something out, though. i hope.......

Alans Buddy · February 09, 2015, 06:02:06 AM

No bueno Sir.
Wow, there are a lot of people requesting time off in June.
If the schedule doesn't work out then you can have my slot off from work.
I'll go next year.

alantani · February 09, 2015, 06:03:09 AM

naw, patty will figure something out. after all, we are her favorites!

Alans Buddy · February 25, 2015, 12:59:04 AM

Here's a few pics.

Here's the Lexa 300 HS.

Here's a couple, mounted up ready to head out in June.

MarkT · February 25, 2015, 01:05:24 AM

Nice! Is that a JDM version with the blue parts and the carbon handle?

Alans Buddy · February 25, 2015, 01:36:44 AM

The handle is from Hawgtech, 102mm swept version. It has Winn grips.
I sent them a star and cap and they anodized them to match the retainer.
