Repairing a Broken Rod using a Tsuka 2 from American Tackle
I broke one of my favorite NFC SJ703's, but there was enough left intact to repair it with an American Tackle Tsuka 2 handle.

Have you ever put a color in the epoxy? If so, how did it come out?
All the time, and it comes out great. Here is an example. czcams.com/video/idj5ZIQuGQM/video.html
This Tsuka 2 handle is amazing the big cons it is the price , actually the handle is more expensive then the blank
Definitely pricey but there high end that's for sure.
I love mine, and they are a little pricey. But, if you consider the cost of CF grips, reel seat, insert, butt cap, winding checks, etc, plus the time saving... they are not that far out of the ball park.
@@fdxcustomrods i really love the look , can you give me a place where I can buy cheaper ?
How do you establish the spacing between the rear grip and the front grip? Or how do you establish where the reel seat is best placed?
I meant how do you establish the distance between the fighting butt and the rear grip? And how do you establish where the reel seat is set?
The reel seat position is determined by technique and personal preference. The reel seat position sets your rear grip, and butt grip is at the butt of the rod.
@@fdxcustomrods thanks for the response. Also from where to I establish the distance of the stripping main guide. From middle of reel seat or down from tip of the blank?
did you forget to put the nut on first before the handle?
do you forget the nut on the reel seat ?
1) yes. I want to try a tiger fairly soon and would like to see how it can go wrong.
Sure! I'd love to see and learn ideas on fixing.
Yes I think we all learn from mistakes both ours and yours.
Yes please...
Yes
Thank you for your time.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching, Don.
I’ve yet to venture into a tiger wrap maybe one day I’ll do some test and see if it’s something I can manage to pull off.!
It's not that hard. You just have to have a lot of patience.
Yes. Would love to see the mistakes as in about to start my first tiger wrap and hope to avoid mistakes.
Thanks for watching SJ.

This is the best blank !!
I like it a lot. I'm not a fan of the guides, though.
@@fdxcustomrods you talking about what guides ?

Thanks
Wilson Christopher Martinez Betty Johnson Matthew
Thanks
completely unrelated question but I'm trying to find a blank to build a jig rod on for flipping a 1/2 to 3/4 ounce jig on fluorocarbon around docks and heavy wood. I'm looking for a more broom stick ish style blank in the 7'6 range so I got power to get em away from the cover. I've been looking at Northfork blanks and I like the Northfork blanks Ive built on but most of their 7'6 blanks are moderate or mod-fast and I'm trying to find a fast or extra fast action. I was just curious as to if you had any suggestions on blanks I should look at?
northforkcomposites.com/delta-rod-blanks/ If you want a broom stick, this is your blank MB 767 flip heavy extra fast.
@@fdxcustomrods awesome, thanks. Just ordered one

Thanks
for the winn grips what size aero grips
Size 16 reel seats fit the Wynn grips perfectly.
I am thinking about ordering a SJ736-1 that you made the heavy worm rod video on but using it as a frog rod. I see you use the mb version for your frog build, I like a stiff frog rod would the sj or mb do better, thank you!!
You should. I have an MB 736 as a frog rod and even use it for 1/2-3/4 oz pitching.
the LZR light weight kit shows CZG-8, RZG-6, RZG-5 (x10) . Is that correct?
Yes, sir, it is
Yes please I would love to see all the work that didn’t pan out like you had planned and how you fixed it. Learn so much from you and any extra info on what not to do would be greatly appreciated.
You got it! Thanks for watching to the end.
I just started and have been learning from you. Keep doing it. Thank you Sir.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
yes
Thanks for watching
Yes. I like seeing what not to do. Helps us to learn. Absolutely
You got it!
Yes please
Thanks for watching
Yes, Rather learn by mistakes on what to do / not to do than making & correcting Thanks Lee Cheers
Exactly! Thanks for watching Stevos.
Yes, how else do we learn. That’s why we watch you, fish on.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching
Yes, definitely
You got it. Thank Boog.
Yes
Thanks Rick
Yes would like to see
You got it, Allen.
Captain Lee is the best. If you need more that whats in the videos email him. He is generous with his time and knowledge.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Rick.
Yes. Like any skill, it's learning the methodology first, then how to correct your mistakes, that separates the best from the "just competent". And you're damn good at teaching both.
Thanks for watching, Rob.
Yes. I'd like to learn something from your mistakes so I don't have to make them myself. 😁
You got it!
YES
Thanks, Harry.
Yes please I will watch the whole thing if you broadcast it I will watch it
I'm going to try and edit it down so it's not too boring...🙄
Yes
Thanks for watching
show us the tiger
Yes, I would like to see the errors. Best way to avoid a mistake is to see one happening. I am just starting to learn, if it's going wrong, stop, strip it off, have coffee and a think - and only then start again. Regretfully the WhatsApp isn't for me. Living in the UK, my phone would be red hot with messages when I'm in bed - or yours would be when you are!
Too be fair I’m in the chat and that already happens most of them don’t sleep 😂 so come join the party
@@NathanDarnell Email is sent. Thanks Nathan.
Thanks Chris.
Yes
Will do Steve.
Yeah. I’d like to join your chat. I have a lot of questions that don’t get answered on other chats.
Send me an email with your contact info to fdxcustomrods@gmail.com
Yes. I learn from the mistakes. It just how to keep from making the mistakes but probably more importantly how to correct and keep going.
So true! Thanks, Brian.
Yes
I'll get working on it, Jason.
