They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I may have caught just a few fish on your rods  Attachments ----------------  tackle industry rod fish.jpg (57KB - 168 downloads) | |||

Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | Here is even a better fish for a catch on the rod. One from Jeff. He said he pulled up a ~200# log snag before this fish. I believe he was using a 9' XH TI rod for both the wood and sturgeon catch. I owe Jeff a lot too. He breaks my prototypes for me and gets me info to make my rod and lures tackle better and better. He is hard on stuff and I thank him for it! James Attachments ---------------- Jef St2.jpg (88KB - 153 downloads) | ||

Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | Yes, all one piece solid 9' rods. As for weight, they are very similar to the current telescopic rods, just slightly less in weight (about 0.5oz or so). The rod weights will put them about equivalent to the big brand high $$$ rods so I am very happy with the blank design and new materials used to make my custom blanks. Once in a while things go right As for the handles, they all have the fat cork. Actually I have yet to find anyone who got one who does not like the fatter cork handles. Most rods are about 1"-1.2" in diameter and mine are just under 1.5" in diameter so its not a lot. Just enough for extra comfort while using the rod all day. It does make a big difference during a long fishing day. James | ||

What will the price point be or have you not gotten that far yet? When you say solid 1-piece 9' rod... are you also alleviating the extension handle with the new model, as well? Also, as mentioned earlier - will the new rods allow for the same lure weight ratings? Or will they be different? I really like the two rods I currently have of yours and I know they're going for a great price right now, but there's significant improvements over the new models coming out - I'll hold off and wait 'til you reveal them. Thanks! | ||

Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | Time line is about 8-10 weeks and both Musky Tackle Online and myself will have the rods on special for $110 for a little while after they are ready to ship. A few more retailers may pick them up for special too before June 1 so I will let you know who has them for that price. I wil still offer the removable handle rods and the telescopic rods for my customers who have storage issues. For the rod specifications, I will have all three MH, XH and XXH and they are all rated the same for lure weight ranges. Both split grip and full grip handles will be offered. The rods have been going over so well I literally will have the volume of a 53" semi truck of rods in my inventory in about 8-10 weeks. I hope to not run out for 2011 you can see the current specs here: http://www.tackleindustries.com/muskypikerods.html Thanks, James | ||

Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | End of May right now. I will not have these in Camo. Those look cool but I have not had many takers on those rods. I woudl love to get a bunch of colors that match up to Ranger boats. Just not enough warehouse room If you want me to email you the day they are ready to buy just send me an email to [email protected] I will keep these on special for $110 too for a week or two so everyone can still have the "winter" special. Thanks, James | ||
