NFC X-ray 6100-1 DSR

When production rods are not enough, it's time to go custom. Come share your experiences building and/or ordering a custom rod and tell us if you'll ever go back to off the shelf.

Well I ended up changing my original plan of building it exactly like the Nrx dsr. I ended up going with all recoil guides, black guide wraps with a color changing metallic purple accent wrap, a metallic purple Fuji IPS seat from Matagi, North fork composites carbon fiber IPS grip set, and instead of using the foam winding checks that came with the grips, I used a pair of g2 aluminum winding checks that ended up fitting perfectly. And of course I had to get a reel that matched the rod, so I picked up an Abu Garcia Revo Ike spinning reel. The rod is super light and balances dead center of the locking nut. Hopefully I will be able to get out tomorrow and test it out

Thanks Cal!
I was able to break it in this morning and so far I really like it. The drag on the reel is a little finicky but I’m sure I will get used to it.
