Lucky Rod

Newell Nut · March 11, 2015, 12:27:15 AM

In last Thursdays report I mentioned a lady on the Pastime Princess that used the abalone inlay rod that I made up for the party boat. I had told her that it was a lucky rod and she had a great day catching some nice fish.

Today a guy from PA arrived early this morning and a really nice guy. I got out the abalone rod for him and told him that it was a very lucky rod. On the very first reef he caught really big porgy that won the jackpot of over $200 today. He now wants me to build him a custom rod.

It is really amazing to see this two days in a row and don't forget it has Jason tuned up LB60 on it. I have been building rods for everybody else so tonight I put the final coat on my first custom build for me. The top inlay is a juvenile great white tooth inlay and on the underside by the hook keeper is an abalone inlay. That rod should have some serious mojo too. One of a kind. It is a musky blank and I will top it off with a Newell 220 maxed out with a 5 stack drag and tib frame. Target is cobia and mangos but I take what I can get.

Sounds like you are really helping put fish on that boat! I'm glad that LB 60 is getting a solid work out. I would prob. Never have used it, so I'm glad it's in good hands!

I'm excited about getting a rod from you Dwight! Make sure to put some extra luck on that's one

Can't wait to see it Dwight. Even Juvenile's have some pretty big Chompers.

Just like those top ones. Perfect triangle and serrated.
