Super Seeker Spinning Popper |
|
|
|
Just received a pair of custom made spinning rods I ordered from Txseadog. Very nice. The blanks are Super Seeker CJBF70H 40 (50) 60 pound rating. 7' in length, Aftco gold reel seats, gold anodized aluminum gimbal, hypalon grips, gold anodized reel color removable fighting rings, and MNSG fugi guides. Wraped in a black/gold combination.
It seems as everybody on this board is looking for best popping rod. These are going to be perfect for me. I don't mind the fact that they aren't super light weight made with plastic seats and gimbals. I'm no lightweight and love the long lasting durability of aluminum. A 50 pound class rod with a stiff tip should send those poppers to China. I mounted a pair of Shimano Stella 20000 spinning reels on these rods loaded with 65 lb spectra and a 25 foot top shot of 80 lb fluorocarbon. I choose the super seeker blank because it is suposed to have great recovery and is billed as unbreakable. I don't believe any rod of good character is unbreakable. I have a bad habit of high sticking which tends to snap rods. These rods blanks have just hit the market. I plan on testing them next weekend with a group of five people. I heard the bite today at Colt 45 was incredible. Lots of big Hoo's in the 50 pound class combined with YF's and a couple blue marlin tearing up the spread. Our plan is to fish Colt 45 and then hit the new floater off Port Mansfield at night. Thanks Kevin for doing a beautiful job on the rods. I am very pleased.

Txseadog, wrap the living h e l l out of those Winthrop guides. Your wrapping will be tested to the MAX.  Hopefully it will be used to fight a Blue Marlin bigger than the one in the Pic below after it wins the bet. This marlin died 3/4 way in the fight. Otherwise it would have been set free.

683 pounds That 63XXH you just wrapped above looks great. You do nice work. To bad it will end up the looser in the bet. But, look at the bright side. Your also building the winning rod. |

Congrats on the fish, after looking closer it is much longer than I orginally thought. That's the nice thing about having both horses in a 2 horse racee.... Last edited by txseadog : 03-06-2007 at 09:23 AM. |
