Pimpin' Flippin' Stick
This is a Castaway BB965 8' blank, double exposed Castaway reel seat, AmTak guides, and a Forecast weight system (Which is why I call it Pimpin Flippin - It just hollers pimp cane). Not only is it a rod, it doubles as a night stick. I built the rod with a 13" handle and the tip balances between 1-2 o'clock for usual waiting position. The rod was built for a Quantum Accurist PT w/the flippin' switch. I used variegated blk/gry thread for the guides, and met gunmetal and red to highlight the reel and weight on the rod. But the guy told me he didn't want a lot of thread work on the blank, and I just used it for the stickers. The rod weighs in a 6.2 w/o the weight (5 oz). Pretty heavy, but the balance makes up for it to me, and hopefully the guy I made it for. Your criticisms and compliments are gratefully accepted.
