Split handle bfs rods.

So I’m in search for a new bfs rod. I currently own a major craft beneki which I love. Looking for a true ul trout rod but that comes in a split handle if anyone knows any brands that are true ul and come in a splint handle I would appreciate your recommendations. Thank you.

Re: Painting magnesium reel?????

Wow! You do amazing work! How many hours does it take you to repaint a reel? It really depends on color(s), reel and parts to be coated. Generally 2-7 hours. This is reason I only take in 1-2 a month, I would go out of business if all I did was reels. Amazing work man those reels look incredible. S...

Re: Shimano ftb braking adjustment

So I was messing around and I noticed that magnets side with the n had less power and the side that didn’t. I had to get really close to the n side of the magnet before stuck to the twizers I was using and when I tried the side without the n I didn’t have to get as close before it would stick to the...

Shimano ftb braking adjustment

Does anyone one know why theres are a letter n on the magnets from the ftb braking system? Is there a difference in braking power if those magnets where turned upside down? I’m trying to adjust the braking power on my Calcutta bfs reel.

Re: Painting magnesium reel?????

Well the paint on the reel is bad and it’s heavily scratched so that’s why I want to repaint the whole thing. I was lookkng into someone doing it but I’ve had no luck finding someone who custom paints reel. I’ve read the guys that used to do it don’t do it anymore. Do you happen to know some one who...

Re: Painting magnesium reel?????

Have you painted a mag reel yourself? Well I was thinking of doing it myself and going to bare metal. I’ve read some articles but they are all auto related.

Re: Affordable bfs rods???

Small jigs and plastics. Mostly 1/8 oz heads and small plastics. Do you own this rod? If so how do you like it? I like it. It has incredible build quality for the price. I like it a bit better than my Zodias 610ML. It's about as sensitive and with almost as much backbone but has a softer tip that l...
