Custom rod? I'm getting one made should be done sometime next week. 26" noodle rod with black pearl Rec recoil guides. Thinking about pairing it up with a Shimano symetre 500fj. If your on a budget for a reel I heard you can't go wrong with the ticas but you can probably find a Shimano Sedona or Sahara for $60. Got a picture of that rod?
the power noodle is basically a super super light tip with a ton of backbone.the tip can show a tiny bluegill bite from what im told. as far as gregg austin, all i can say is awesome rod builder. the man builds some great rods and will order and make anything you want. ANYTHING! i had him make me a custom panfish rod with the st croix bobber attachment. i dont like the st coix because the graphite just sets the hook too hard in my opinion. he agreed and we talked for about a hour and a half just about the rod and ice fishing. hes a good dude. i already ordered another rod from him that he has ordered parts and different blanks for me. hes making me a custom laker rod exactly how i want it. also gives alot of good feedback and tells you what he thinks. good person to deal with with good prices.
Iceassin where do you purchase the Whip'r rod? Im interested
