Hey Guys,
Just wanted to share the new custom built rod I just received from Dwight (Newell Nut). We have been talking about this rod for months, he is pretty backed up. Finally received the Rod today and I have to say it was well worth the wait! I sent him a pic of the reel I am going to match it to and what blank I wanted, then he took care of all the rest.
Here is the reel. Jigmaster "99" all decked out. With ALL SS internals and SS 4:1 gears with Bryans 5+1 stack. This thing is a beast.

Enough about the reel, The rod is what is the main attraction and it is gorgeous!!
Its a Rainshadow RCLB70ML Blank with silver ALPS reel seat and a solid vinyl grip. Dwight wrapped sanded down the grip, above the reel seat, into an hour glass shape then wrapped cord around it before wrapping it with the vinyl wrap. Its a solid grip!!
