Graywolf custom rods

Anybody heard of them ?
I knew he was building some fiberglass flyrods , but I just found out he’s building some fiberglass spinning and BFS casting rods .
I’m interested in the 4’11” model , in white .
I watched a couple of videos and the rods look to be parabolic.
I think he’s building his own blanks and his website says he uses quality Japanese grips and handles.
I think he builds a beautiful rod .
Father’s Day is coming up and I have a birthday around the same time, I may have to check one out .
Hope he doesn’t mind me sharing one of his photos.

Nice looking product. Happy Fathers Day and birthday to you, my vote is get yourself 2. lol

Looks like it’s well done to me. Enjoy the day of thunder for us Dads! Order up!

Very nice

If I ordered up I would be a neutered Father….:Rofl It looks beautiful in white. A new “bride” maybe….ok I’m done…LOL

Very pretty rod. I’m sure it’s way out of my price range.

I'm in almost the same boat as Buckeye, only I surly do believe the Doc would be pluggin holes. Mom said my new to me inflatable pontoon was my Pop's Day present...I don't need to plug holes in it or me...Just sayin'...

I was hoping somebody had one and could provide some more info on the rod .

That particular rod is $189 + $25 shipping.
the rod tube and sock is another $45 . $259 total
I’m sure it’s worth it , but I’d be afraid I didn’t like the rods action and it wouldn’t get used .
Looked pretty whippy in the video I watched .

I paid more than that for a 7’ 3wt. Diamondback fiberglass flyrod, because I read how great they were , and didn’t like the way it felt . Now it sits in a corner. Right next to my Iprimi xxul .
Think I’ll stick with my Major Craft Finetail glass .

Yes, probably not worth the risk not to like it. Beautiful handle.

needs a longer rod butt for sure , that would be hard on the wrist for me , but it is pretty

I actually like the short rod butt on a short rod . Of course I’m one of those weird guys who used to like a pistol grip on a casting rod .

Loved pistol grips. Nothing wrong with them!

Well , Amazon was taking too long to ship my latest Major Craft order , so I cancelled it and ordered a Graywolf 4’11” UL fiberglass rod .
It took less than fifteen minutes and I received an email confirming my order with a tracking number.
I’m excited.
This will have to be my last rod order for this year.

Good deal. There's nothing like adding another rod to the arsenal!

Tracking says “ out for delivery “ :)
Tried to fish a little this morning. When I arrived, the docks were full with full of folks . I don’t care for competition.
Decided to wait on my new rod to be delivered instead.

I was never a fan of pistol grip rods, but I absolutely love a short butt section. I hate it when you check a 6' and a 6'6" rod and the rods are exactly the same from the grip forward and all the extra length is in the butt. I had a Leland TCB (a fine rod) but it had that issue. Honestly that issue was one of the primary reasons that I got into making my own rods. It also one of the reasons I really like these Daiwa Trout X rods I have.

I waited all day for UPS for my delivery that never showed.
Tracking changed at 8:48 pm that the label is eligible and needs to be confirmed so the package can be delivered.
BS . I also had an order from Amazon that was shipped by UPS .
Strangely that one also is delayed.
Guess the driver couldn’t finish his route today . So they made up a lie about my rod .

What are your thoughts on your new rod? Thinking of getting a glass rod but scared they are a little whippy for my taste. Used to have a Shakespeare Wonder rod that I inherited from my dad but now I can't find it. Think I gave it to one of the grandkids. Like short handle rods. My 7' Soare handle is 9 3/4" long. First thing I look at is handle length on a rod.

Just received the rod yesterday and haven’t fished it yet .
After putting the three sections together and adding a small 500 reel , I gave a it a few wiggle checks and this isn’t like the fiberglass glass rods we grew up on .
First it’s light . And when I pull on the line , it has a nice parabolic bend to it . Not whippy and seems to have quick recovery.
I made a couple of driveway casts with it and it casts a small jig pretty good .
I’ll get a chance to fish it for about forty minutes today and hopefully I can catch something on it .
The jig I have tied on today is a 3mm Tungsten bead jig on a size 14 hook , tied with olive chenille body and a dark olive rabbit zonker fur tail.
I can usually only cast these about 15-20 feet . But I’m wanting to catch “something” . Not concerned with the size .
That’s if there’s still water under the docks at my local reservoir. Without rain and all of this heat , evaporation and folks watering their lawns are draining the lake fairly quick .
