Here's an 875H I just finished up for Mel to take on the Alan Tani LR trip! I think it came out really nice and I can't wait to see some bendo pics!!!

nice! there will be three vadney rods on this trip, mel's, my 838 and my brother's jig stick. my phenix black diamond hybrid 700xh blank just arrived. i've asked john to wrap it up and make it look like the shorter, tougher brother of the 838.

Hey mark, the blank came in a few days ago. I've got the grips installed, underwraps done, decorative wraps done, just gotta finish the guide wraps

hooked 2 with this rod and OC40 spooled with Ande 40 top with Seaguar Premier 40 using Kicker 25M. the first one hit like a freight train and spat it out while Cpt Mike was watching and boated 2nd one in maybe < 5 mins. love the action and power of the rod, i just wish that a photo was taken with the bendo.

We'll get a photo next time Mel! I'm glad you like the rod and I'm stoked you got to pull on some fish with it!!!
