Retro style rod

Better!

My original CQ50 on the lightest GLX crankbait rod.

Once the SPR gets here and is attached to my custom I'll be in Nirvana.

Small plug extravaganza!

I was going to build a pistol grip rod using an old handle. Still might


On the old pistol grip rods, the handle separated from the blanks, so you could change rods but use the same handle.

Just bringing this thread to closure. The little supertuned Abu throws like a champ on the IMX 721. I was able to pick up a mint SPR for my Otterrod, and it matches up perfectly. My lightweight division is set! Thank you for the ideas and feedback.

This is not an enthusiast rod at all, but has a very retro feel to it and might match up well with your reel:

Doomsday Tackle's The 47

I recently bought one of these in the medium light action. I absolutely love it.
