2 more Spiel rods to be born

[aplumma]

Well I was talking to Chris and he said he could find time to get two baitcaster rods built for me so I chose these two blanks

 

XMB844-TC Titanium Chrome 7'0" 1 12-20 lb. 1/4 - 1oz. 0.545 6 Fast 2.75 oz.

 

 

RX8+S822.5 - 6'10" 6-12 LB Extra Fast Medium

 

They will have the correct eyes for braided lines and an all cork handle I can't wait to get to Lak Air and take delivery.

 

Thanks again Chris for the past and future rods you built me over the years.

Sounds great, Art! He's bringing me one up there as well.... really looking forward to it! How do you find a reel good enough to match the rod quality though?

[Spiel]

Lord knows I have the time. Thanks both Roy and Art for placing the orders.

I will do my best to make you both extremely happy!

Roy I am thinking about the shimano chronarch 50 mg and the 100 mg. It seems a shame to get such a nice light rod and bulk it up with a heavy reel.

The key to any good outfit is not about overall weight, it's about balance.

O.K. here is the match up 1 Shimano Chronarch 50 mg for the little rod and a Shimano Core 100 mg for the heavier one.Now get buildin buddy.

Art you made a good choice on the blanks, you'll love the rods.

 

Chris built the 12-25lb rod for me and it's incredible.

Spiel is crafting me a walleye rod again this year. Last year's rod was perfect. This one will be a longer rod...I need a good reel for it though. His muskie rods are hard to beat. I'f Chris knows how you fish and what you fish for, it's like he already knows what you want/need.

Roy since you are such a short oops I meant NICE guy when you find the reel you want give me a chance to see if I can get it cheaper in the USA and I will bring it to you at Lak Air.

The blanks are on there way.

 

Now if I could find someone to pick them up for me in Owen Sound that'd be perfect.
