Title: X-Camo - latest rod build
Post by: j on August 30, 2014, 09:35:34 PM

I recently finished building my first baitcaster rod.

• 6' IM6 graphite blank
• 10 - 15 lb line weight
• 1/2 - 1 oz lure weight
• Fast action, medium power

I'm really happy with the finished product. The single colour wraps look really good on the camo blank.

Now I need to save up and decide on a reel for it.

Can anyone recommend a good baitcaster reel under $200, or do I need to spend a bit extra and get a Shimano Curado or similar? I would like to get a left hand wind reel.
