Calstar "750"H

[TwistedCustomRods]

Right after 9/11/2001 I originally built this rod.  It was an 800H that I cut 2" off of the tip and 4" off of the butt. I wrapped it in red, white and blue with an American flag wrap.  This rod quickly became my all time favorite 40# stick.  It has caught me countless albacore, yellowtail to 40# and YFT to 105#.  I built it with Fuji SiC's and it had a cork tape grip.  This was my last personal rod that was not spiral wrapped.

On some of the bigger YFT I have caught, the reel started to move around during the fight and I really didn't like the fact that it wasn't spiral wrapped so I decided it was time for an upgrade.  After stripping the rod I was trying to decide what colors to wrap it in.  I was outside a couple weeks ago throwing the ball with my dog, enjoying the fall weather when it hit me that fall was my favorite time of year so I used fall as my inspiration for the colors on the rod.

Enjoy!
