Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | I have gotten a lot of requests to see the new 2-piece rod. Took the best pictures I could for you guys. In short, these new rods will have the same ratings as my current rods do. Difference is, they will break down into 2 4.5' long pieces. The two pars are connected with a super strong spigot joint. These rods are great for traveling. I will also finally be able to ship rods globally for normal prices. Another nice feature is that you can keep your reel on the rod and break it down for short travels and no more issues with rod lockers... these will fit in a lot of the side lockers in boats too and you will already be rigged up and ready to fish. Not too bad to keep your 9' rod in the truck of your car too  A few guides really beat these up. Best one was a guide who took the MH and threw a lot of heavy lures up to and including ponders with it for about 6 weeks. And remember, my MH rod is rated for 1-6 oz lures. I told him to try and break it with normal use and he tried but the rod is still just fine even with the abuse he put it through in the fall of 2011. Hope to have these out by Spring (May). email me if you want me to send you an alert when they are ready to ship. Thanks, [email protected] James PICTURES: Attachments ----------------  Picture1.jpg (33KB - 139 downloads) Picture2.jpg (26KB - 135 downloads) Picture3.jpg (30KB - 131 downloads) Picture4.jpg (48KB - 149 downloads) Picture5.jpg (51KB - 141 downloads) | ||

Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | For the handles I will be making both split and full grip in the 3 actions MH, XH and XXH. So, 6 new models for this rod line. Adding these rods is a treat for my warehouse, they fit on normal 4x4 pallets for storage vs my 9' rods. Those are a nightmare to store! Just bought a bunch of 10' wide 16' tall three level steel pallet racks and had to make my own oversized pallets for the 9' rods. The fork truck does not like those pallets at all and neither do I. Can't see a thing on the sides... | ||

Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | esoxone-I will have 6 new lines of rods for the 2-piece. Full Grip handles in MH, XH and XXH Split Grip handles in MH, XH and XXH I will price these right along with my current lines too. I will have them for $120 for a while. They cost a little more to make but it was not enough to make a new price point for them vs my other rods. Keep it simple For rods in Europe, I do now have an outlet for the rods. Franglais Fishing. http://www.franglaisfishing.com/ If you do not see the rod you want, you can email Steve at [email protected] and let him know what you need. He will add it to the next bulk shipment from me. Thanks, James | ||

Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | Lucky Craft Man, Nope. BUT how does a 7'9" Jerkbait rod sound? Just put in my production specifications yesterday. I plan on making a 7'9" jerkbait rod with a power about 35% more than my current XH rod. Basically a little more backbone and a little less tip flex but no a broom stick. Both split grip and full grip too. 16" handles with 5" foregrips, 8 line guides plus the tip top, Fuji components. Hope you guys like it. I will also have my 8' rods out in about 3 weeks. Just in time to take to the Feb. shows (Madison and Michigan). Thanks to Shawn too! Messaged back and forth with Shawn a few times and tweaked my specifications a little. He also talked me into not just making a full grip rod model for this. So, for you split grip junies you can thank Shawn. Leaving for Minnesota Sportsmens show right now. Just in time for the 50mph winds and snow! Thanks James | ||
