I definitely didn't invent the fishing rod but I really wasn't sure where to post this. As I was rigging up all my tip ups and jaw jackers for tomorrow I figured I would take a pic of one of the custom rods I built just for my jawjacker. Its a 30 inch solid fiberglass medium power blank with fugi guides and tip wrapped with yellow thread. Did all the custom cork grip myself as well. I choose a fiberglass blank for this rod because I wanted a moderate action rod because of it sitting bent all day in my jawjacker. I normally build most of my rods with solid carbon blanks with a fast action and a good backbone for lifting the fish and a softer fast tip for detecting light bites but figured this would work better for that setup. I'm pairing it up with one of my okama trio 20 series reels. I really like these reels. They have an excellent drag and work well for both hard water and soft.
