Heavy bucktail or light bucktail?

I have one I custom built that is 8'-6" weighted in the handle to balance in the hand.

Fuji guides, Batson rainshadow blank 3/4 - 3 oz medium heavy action, 1-1/2" cork
The main handle is roughly 14" long with a 4-1/2" section in front of the reel seat. Cork rings were individually reamed and glued onto the rod in a press, so there will be no gaps in glue or cork.

The guides are tied 4 wraps silver/2 wraps black/metalic red/2 wraps black/4 wraps silver. This is on all guides.

If you are interested, feel free to PM Me. I'll take some pictures of it if you'd like.

Steve

I'm leaning more towards heavier tails. I have a setup already that's similar to your rod, thank you tho!
