Just a few tips either paint it bone white or yellow. These plugs are fished for striped bass. Also don’t use spar urethane, instead spray it with lawyer as a finish after you paint it. Tight lines!

Green looks rad. Nice work!

My inspirasion

* use better hooks and split rings * there, saved you 8 agonizing minutes !

*use not utilize

Hey brotha how do you epoxy you whole rod before everything to get it that green color or how do you do it?

How do you determine distance between guide?

Can i ask what sort of setup this is for? I'm just trying to get into fishing and i have 20lb braided and 10lb fluorocarbon for the leader. Is that sufficient for my purpose of basically just bass with maybe an occasional walleye/pike?

got ur girl driving you, big L

🤔don’t you sand eels use the pro peg system

AWESOME!

Helmsman spar varnish is not epoxy. Nice restoration though.

I was under the impression that big game rods where under wrapped am learn does it really matter?

Great video, BUT please learn not to drag the fish in the sand, it removes protective coating from scales and also can harm the gills.

We have a second home on Sanibel that’s an 8 mn drive to Blind Pass. Too many people fish there now. It’s not even worth going to on the weekends. It’s a shame. It used to be a great spot.

The reel is not 'rated' for a given amount of yards. That is the spool "capacity"

Totally an off the mark explanation of 'Long cast reel'

Did you buy the blank pre colored like that?? And if so where? Link please? Thanks!

Great tips and video!

What hand wrapping set up are you using?

fantastic video!!! i have to do this. thank you

Dude…yes, Savage Gear lures are great but they are anything but inexpensive… no matter who or where you buy them from… More than likely,.. I’m older than the both of you guys put together… Plastic baits are not new … everyone thinks it’s the newfangled bait… No, Wrong, Bad…! Freshwater bass fishermen have using plastic worms long before I was even born…! Anyway,… $10 to $20 a pop is not cheap… for a jig swim bait .. even though you get the 2+1 pack …2 tails and 1 jig head is the only way you feel you got a deal but not really… ! Back in the day … we used a white buck tail jig and an Uncle Josh’s pork rind strip … That was textbook Striper fishing and we whipped conventional beavers … not the grinders you young whipper snappers use.. thinking it’s the best thing since sliced bread…. As you know by now,.. we have multiplier reels that cast close to 400 yards .! The CapeCod Canal and Montauk is quite the place to be for Stripers but never have I seen anyone with conventional gear there.. where’s the skill in casting a spin gear and why the helm do you need a bale… really strange design of a fishing reel to say the least…! Stop telling people savage gear is inexpensive…. All lures are made are to attract you to buy them …. Truth is … it does not matter what your lure looks like or what it does… if it moves,… the fish will attack it… do the math fellas…. 👍😎🤙

Jk y’all cool

Did you ever have any issues fighting fish with the 6500 long cast spinfisher?

so you guys don’t bother reviving fish that size

Nice work! This is the first build I've seen where the entire blank had marbling on it. Did you use thread finish for the marbling or some other product? Are you having any issues with the finish cracking? Thanks

Great vid. The small fish at the end was a jack not a pompano. The jacks are very fun to catch and they get very big. I live here in Cape Coral next time you come bring some top water lures for some good explosive fun.

Any issues with truck bounce and rods falling out of mop rack?

Good looking rod for sure! I would recommend doing under wraps on your guides for such heavy duty applications. And a double wrap on your guide feet. Running 130lb braid and even bigger you want all the thread you can get holding those guides!

Phenomenal craftsmanship. Respect 🫡

Question for you. I'm new to the rod building community. Do you apply grips and reel seat anywhere. Or do you find the spine of the rod. I know you find the rods spine on smaller rods but didn't know if you had to with these bigger ones.

What rod is that?

It doesn’t look the same anymore 😢 hurricane Ean totaled our beaches 2022

I am a fan, looking forward to more videos.

So 7 1/2 inches is the smallest I should use?

Very nice work, man. Well done! Just getting started with building rods here myself and your video was an inspiration!

What blank model is that can you add every part you used and where you ordered , thanks

Can you sell me it ?

Are lights necessary?

Sweet set up! Great video, I especially appreciate showing it in action hauling in a nice shark. Any chance you could post the details of the components you got? I am looking to get into building a rod, but the guide sizes and placements still confuse me. Thanks!

The top of your guide should line up at your mark on the rod

Pretty awesome build man! Where did you buy all your rod building equipment (line guides, rod blank, etc.)?

Where did you get your decal?

Awesome job Dom. Miss you

I bet you guys snag on rocks and weeds all the time with ridiculous weights like that!

you forgot to set your guides by deflection

If it ain’t up to par u won’t go very far

Hey I got question please How’s penn spinfisher long cast retrieve ?It not really slow slack time and current too?I’m using jigging (sand eel?? Thank you for the time

Did you guys fish this year? 2022
