Got the ball rolling today with a new project...dubbed the "Tuna Tamer". It'll start life as an 8 foot Carbon Fiber Blank made exclusively by Phenix...Black Diamond Hybrid model # PHD809XH...rated for 30-80lb test lines. Super light and ultra strong. 'Nuff Said. Will be paired with ALPS reel seat and gimbal and Fuji SiC Titanium guides...After this project, project "Whopper Stopper" will commence...As for Reels, Shimano Talica 2's will be strapped onto these bad boys...stay tuned
Also picked up a Tiburon frame and reel clamp for the 'ol Penn 500 Jigmaster...the reel I call "Frankenstein"...OG factory side plates,CarbonTex drags,Pro Gear Handle, and now the Tiburon frame...not bad for a beater/loaner reel...
Saw these Robo's and had to pick em up, I'm looking to throw these bigger worms this year to try and hang bigger Largemouths...
Did I mention...STAY TUNED?!
