I built that blank.Im a rookie rod builder and a want to be shark fisherman.I put roller guides all the way, triple
wrapped with d-thread,aluminum handle to make it even longer.Loaded it up with a 14/0-- 800 yards of 130.
It will hit the beach this summer--so I can't comment on how it handles.I will tell you I used a 25 lb weight for the static test to place the guides.
I had to mount a piece of pvc using heavy screws and 2x4s anchored to the frame of my shop to pull that off!!The length for me is to help wear and tear on the line from sand bars and shell--Texas Beach.I personally think it will slap jaws up onto the beach but that remains to be seen.I also have 2 of Mr Barretts rods also unused-- so I can compare.The Barrett rods have 9/0s on them and I can tell you just from feel his rods are awesome!!! Cant wait to actually hook into something!!
