The Backstory
The Backstory
These custom rods were built especially for my nephew's kids! (6 and 10) They were a part of the process from start to finish—picking out their own custom colors and hands-on hydro dipping the blanks to make them truly unique. They picked out the stickers and I arranged them.
Build Specs:
Base Blank: Mud Hole Custom Tackle Color Series (6'0")
Custom Length: Cut down to a perfect, kid-friendly 4.5'
Real: Built for Zebco 33 micro spincast trigger. This will give them the ease of a spincast but rod and guild layout allowing them to use a regular spinning real in the future.
