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.

      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.

    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?

    • @mannymartinez1553
      @mannymartinez1553 Před 2 dny

      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?

    • @fdxcustomrods
      @fdxcustomrods Před dnem

      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.

    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?
