Sampson Custom Rods

North Fork Composites MB 736-1 X-ray 7'3" MH blank and soft touch 9.5" carbon fiber grip. American Tackle CCT Blade reel seat and carbon fiber locking hood. CRB Elite casting guides and tip top.

Just some hidden thread locking barrels for reel seats glued up.

7'11" XH Fast 20-40lb 3-8oz swimbait rod completed. Metallic black and copper reverse Chevron wrap, orange silk guide wrap with metallic black trim ring. LZR medium duty guides, American Tackle carbon reel seat, and carbon fiber grips.

The 7'11" swimbait rod is doing its final drying, and while that is happening I'm contemplating my next build. I have an 8' Mag medium with moderate action. Capable of lures from 1/2oz to 8oz. Another swimbait rod or cut it down a little and make it a flipping rod? Also have a 7'3" medium heavy coming my way, build that first or the 8'. So many decisions. Both blanks are under the G. Loomis umbrella, so quality is there.

One of these kind of days. Cold, snow, Caps game, and wrapping guides on a 7'11" swimbait rod.
