Good looking setup!

What's a 'sling shot' rod?

Without a doubt the weakest, ugliest drum outfit I've ever seen. I like you man, so I'm gonna PM you my address and I'll take one for the team using it at Hatteras so you can hunt another rig :)

I love some Trimar thread, very nicely done sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the bad pics my cell phone is all i have. Titanium K guides with a Fuji titanium plated plate seat. Daiwa 7ht mag with a QTC frame and side plate and stainless steel main and pinion gear with Boca ceramic hybrid bearings on the spool. Carbontex washers for the drag.

Who built that? Ryan White is the Century rep down here but I don't think I've seen him use trimar.

I bought the blank and guides from mud hole. Terry Walton up by Pine flat lake near Fresno did the work for me. It took quite some time to find a builder in the valley. He is doing another rod for me . A Phenix 7' 9" swim bait blank, Fuji titanium guides with a alps reel seat. The reel is the new Shimano Calcutta Conquest 400 from japan tackle. The rod will be ready before the first of the year.

Looks pretty and all but how does it cast? :)  Just got my 7HT ST and still figuring out the rod, how do you like it?
