The most recent set to come off the bench. Pretty damn proud of these seven. All built one at a time, by hand, with intent. The way it should be.
The details:
All the rods are Batson blanks with Alps components. The powder coated cherry red guides are from and they were awesome to work with. The guides turned out top notch.
Two RCKJB 5’8” jigging rods, conveniently wrapped
Two RCKJB 6’6” jigging rods, acid wrapped
Two BP 10’6” trolling rods with carbon grips
One RSU deep drop rod for an electric reel

We’re almost there folks. We may still be getting snowed on in Kodiak but the reds are converging on Alaska and we can’t wait.
Heres a rod I built last year specifically for targeting reds. It can be used with a fly reel or a spinning reel and makes long days on the river much more enjoyable.
Built on a 9’ 8wt fly rod I’m quite happy with the results. Yellow mono makes for an easy day on the eyes as well.

It’s about time for the influx in fish pictures. April is almost here and I’m ready to wet some lines.

upgraded this spring with a 9’ 8 weight built with Alps components and Fuji thread. Im very happy with how the color combination turned out. I know she’s going to hammer some fish this year with it. She always does. The new labels are turning out sharp as well.

A RCKJB700-325 I recently built for targeting lingcod and halibut on lighter tackle. This one is acid wrapped with Fuji thread and Alps medium guide train.
Clearly you can see my lure of choice for this venture. Bora jigs have been a staple on our boat for the past six seasons. I won’t leave the dock without them.
Thanks for looking

A CTSF63XXH I built on request for some Alaskan halibut. This Alaskan themed rod will hopefully get a solid bend this summer.
