Stripper up tip down

I wouldn't go with a trigger seat. It will cause problems coming out of a rod holder.
At this time I can't upload a pic of my rods but if you want it or if someone can do it for me I can email or text it to them. Just pm me and I will do it.

Here you go Mike. Nice rods. Like the the aluminum reel seats with double locking rings.

Thanks Jason! I feel that I get a better action from the rod with the guides set in a continues spiral than with only 3 guides and less lateral stress on those guides.

Is that an ALPS seat?? NICE!

Yes it is. It will be a few days(moving this weekend) but I will post the part#. I do know that in this color combo it comes in one size.

Sorry it took me so long. . .you've probably wrapped three rods by now! Clay built the red one and I built the Michigan rod.








Anyhow, I'm a big fan of the carbon fiber rear grip (indestructo as needed if you load your rods in the clip like I do), yes on the trigger reel seat, and this is one application where I think a quality reel seat matters (these are Alps, who makes some good ones with double locking rings). The x-flock foregrip is easy and just for grins. Mine is a simple spiral (0-90-180), which works just fine, and there's nothing even close to line contact at any blank flexion.

Anyways, have fun, and let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to share my recipe for guide sizing and spacing on this blank. In my opinion, many of the published recipes use way too many guides, especially for these rods. Share some pix when you're done!
