Just a few tips either paint it bone white or yellow. These plugs are fished for striped bass. Also don’t use spar urethane, instead spray it with lawyer as a finish after you paint it. Tight lines!
Green looks rad. Nice work!
My inspirasion
* use better hooks and split rings * there, saved you 8 agonizing minutes !
*use not utilize

Hey brotha how do you epoxy you whole rod before everything to get it that green color or how do you do it?
How do you determine distance between guide?
Can i ask what sort of setup this is for? I'm just trying to get into fishing and i have 20lb braided and 10lb fluorocarbon for the leader. Is that sufficient for my purpose of basically just bass with maybe an occasional walleye/pike?
got ur girl driving you, big L
🤔don’t you sand eels use the pro peg system
AWESOME!
Helmsman spar varnish is not epoxy. Nice restoration though.
I was under the impression that big game rods where under wrapped am learn does it really matter?
My next rod I believe I will do the under wrap just for the heck of it… however I’ve since landed a 12’ hammerhead shark and all held up just fine🤷🏽♂️
Great video, BUT please learn not to drag the fish in the sand, it removes protective coating from scales and also can harm the gills.
We have a second home on Sanibel that’s an 8 mn drive to Blind Pass. Too many people fish there now. It’s not even worth going to on the weekends. It’s a shame. It used to be a great spot.
The reel is not 'rated' for a given amount of yards. That is the spool "capacity"
Totally an off the mark explanation of 'Long cast reel'
Did you buy the blank pre colored like that?? And if so where? Link please? Thanks!
Great tips and video!
What hand wrapping set up are you using?
Is that the mudhole cbr hand wrapper? Can you put extensions on that one to move your thread carriage?
fantastic video!!! i have to do this. thank you
Dude…yes, Savage Gear lures are great but they are anything but inexpensive… no matter who or where you buy them from… More than likely,.. I’m older than the both of you guys put together… Plastic baits are not new … everyone thinks it’s the newfangled bait… No, Wrong, Bad…! Freshwater bass fishermen have using plastic worms long before I was even born…! Anyway,… $10 to $20 a pop is not cheap… for a jig swim bait .. even though you get the 2+1 pack …2 tails and 1 jig head is the only way you feel you got a deal but not really… ! Back in the day … we used a white buck tail jig and an Uncle Josh’s pork rind strip … That was textbook Striper fishing and we whipped conventional beavers … not the grinders you young whipper snappers use.. thinking it’s the best thing since sliced bread…. As you know by now,.. we have multiplier reels that cast close to 400 yards .! The CapeCod Canal and Montauk is quite the place to be for Stripers but never have I seen anyone with conventional gear there.. where’s the skill in casting a spin gear and why the helm do you need a bale… really strange design of a fishing reel to say the least…! Stop telling people savage gear is inexpensive…. All lures are made are to attract you to buy them …. Truth is … it does not matter what your lure looks like or what it does… if it moves,… the fish will attack it… do the math fellas…. 👍😎🤙
Jk y’all cool
Did you ever have any issues fighting fish with the 6500 long cast spinfisher?
Nope 6500 is great size for the canal👍🏽 I would pair it with 40lb braid
so you guys don’t bother reviving fish that size
Nice work! This is the first build I've seen where the entire blank had marbling on it. Did you use thread finish for the marbling or some other product? Are you having any issues with the finish cracking? Thanks
Great vid. The small fish at the end was a jack not a pompano. The jacks are very fun to catch and they get very big. I live here in Cape Coral next time you come bring some top water lures for some good explosive fun.
Great stuff! Thanks for the comment, will do!
Any issues with truck bounce and rods falling out of mop rack?
Not at all, although hasn’t been tested in harsher conditions like off roading
Good looking rod for sure! I would recommend doing under wraps on your guides for such heavy duty applications. And a double wrap on your guide feet. Running 130lb braid and even bigger you want all the thread you can get holding those guides!
Thanks for the comment! Agree with the under wraps on the next one
Phenomenal craftsmanship. Respect 🫡
Question for you. I'm new to the rod building community. Do you apply grips and reel seat anywhere. Or do you find the spine of the rod. I know you find the rods spine on smaller rods but didn't know if you had to with these bigger ones.
Yup you’ll be able to find the spine on larger rods as well, just line the reel seat up with the spine once you find it. As far as grips and reel seat placement that will depend on arm length. Play around with it before gluing and do what feels most comfortable
What rod is that?
ODM jigster
It doesn’t look the same anymore 😢 hurricane Ean totaled our beaches 2022
I am a fan, looking forward to more videos.
So 7 1/2 inches is the smallest I should use?
Very nice work, man. Well done! Just getting started with building rods here myself and your video was an inspiration!
Best of luck! Let me know if you ever have questions
What blank model is that can you add every part you used and where you ordered , thanks
RCTB 7’ XXXH 80-130, blank and parts I got from getbitoutdoors
@@catchingzzzsoutdoors1872 did it come in that color or did you paint it ?
Can you sell me it ?
Sadly not this one!
Are lights necessary?
Sweet set up! Great video, I especially appreciate showing it in action hauling in a nice shark. Any chance you could post the details of the components you got? I am looking to get into building a rod, but the guide sizes and placements still confuse me. Thanks!
Sure, I used a few different sizes all of them were Heavy XN Alps Guides (titanium chrome). I used (1) size 20 (as my stripping guide) then (1) size 16, and (4) size 12. I also used a size 26 aluminum reel seat (alps) to fit the blank
The top of your guide should line up at your mark on the rod
Pretty awesome build man! Where did you buy all your rod building equipment (line guides, rod blank, etc.)?
Mostly from Get bit outdoors
Where did you get your decal?
I got these from mudhole
Awesome job Dom. Miss you
Thanks so much! Miss you too!
I bet you guys snag on rocks and weeds all the time with ridiculous weights like that!
You never fished cape cod canal?
you forgot to set your guides by deflection
If it ain’t up to par u won’t go very far
Hey I got question please How’s penn spinfisher long cast retrieve ?It not really slow slack time and current too?I’m using jigging (sand eel?? Thank you for the time
The retrieve is good enough.. definitely not a high speed retrieve like the slammer HS edition and other fast reels but good enough for jigging/topwater! Try breaking tides at sunset with the 8” savage sandeels
Did you guys fish this year? 2022
