Been a long time forum watcher and since springs right around the corner thought I’d build a 7ft UL for casting corks. What do you guys think about how it turned out. Attachment 328808Attachment 328809Attachment 328810Attachment 328811

Fine and dandy!
thanks. it was hard to find a 1 peace 7 ft rod that i like so i guess like with anything else you want it build it. i used it for the first time this morning and its a good balance of flex to back bone and made fighting the crappie fun. i havnt built a rode in a while so it was fun, and made me wish i could build some more.
Nice wrapping job!
Very nice work. DBD said that you missed the forum section dedicated to building your own. Yours would be great posted there and might help someone get off the fence about doing their own. I haven’t built one in over 25 years and even then they weren’t as nice as yours.
Very nice looking rod. How long have you been building rods? What blank did you use for this one?
Bushido has a sj7'2"/4-8 lb UL 1-piece that I use on crappie builds. You can cut 2" off the back and be fine. I have one on the bench now that I am building for a guy. They have a nice light tip, but more backbone than the average UL. What blank did you end up going with?Quote:
