Title: Phenix PHD838MH as a bass rod
Post by: Jon Vadney on September 27, 2014, 05:59:33 PM
Here's a different one.  I built this for a buddy of mine who is a bass fisherman to throw the big swimbaits (Deps 250 slideswimmer and bigger).  I tried something different here w/ using an epoxy ramp instead of a rear grip....and I gotta tell ya, it's pretty damned comfortable.  Surprisingly so....almost more comfortable than a regular rear grip.  Here's the component list:
Phenix PHD838MH Blank
Alps buttcap
Alps reel seat
Recoil Guides (acid wrapped....of coarse).
