I have a 2500 and a 3000. They are the older CI4, not the +, but they work just fine! Practically stole the 3000. Picked it up on closeout last year for $144!!

I have 2 older Sustains, LOVE them. I played with a new one at a Field and Stream and I wouldn't give you the Stradic price for it. I'd go Stradic or CI4+. Myself, I'm either going with a JDM Stella or a Rarenium CI4+

Got a 2500 a couple years ago and just picked up a 3000 on clearance about 2 months ago. I like them more than a little!

Being they are SiC, and 2 of them are Ti framed, they're not gonna be cheap anywhere. Authorized Fuji dealers are required to sell at MSRP to retail customers and the wholesale prices are set by Fuji as well. Give Karen at Bingham a call (913-897-6657). She's pretty fair on the shipping charges.

No, those jigs were purchased. I've since upgraded to some nicer ones that cut the ring in to more pieces. The slots for the saw are much thinner too, allowing for much straighter cuts and better checkerboard alignment.

I used to use Gamakatsus exclusively. Then, I broke a hook on a fish. just the eye and part of the shank came back. thought it was a fluke, til it happened again on another fish, with a different size hook......then again. I gave all of my Gammie dropshot hooks away and switched to Owner...

Rod should be able to handle 4oz or more. You'll have to venture into the musky or saltwater section to find anything that will not explode on the cast. I'm currently building one for a customer and I'm using what's classified as an all purpose saltwater/cobia/tarpon/barracuda blank. It's a...

Meet Ms. Taylor (NO, she isn't named after the singer). We rescued her on Sunday from the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley. She is a 1.5 year old flat-coated retriever/border collie mix. Someone must have spent some time with her because she knows lots of commands and listens really well. She...

At 6:45 pm today, Ms. Tiffany's spirit was freed. Please join us in raising a glass to celebrate the life of a great friend.

Tiffany (back) and Blaze (Front) Tiffy, Blaze & mommy at the 2011 ICRBE Tiffany On Wednesday, Tiffany was diagnosed with a transitional cell carcinoma in her urethra. Patty and I have discussed all of the options and their side effects and we agree that it is best to surround her with...

I finally finished the NFC and had a chance to field test it on some Erie smallies in June. My initial impression was correct. This rod is lighter in power than rods I typically dropshot with, but it did not lack the power to boat some 4# and 5# smallies. Overall finished weight of the rod is...

Update on the North Fork. Finally got the rest of the parts. Want to try to knock it out this week so I can test drive it in Erie next weekend.

That will work, but you need one of these too.

I didn't realize that size wasn't made anymore.

If it's a UL, I'd opt for a Sahara 750. I have one on my 7' light bluegill rod, and it's great.

Thanks Jim, that was one of those ideas found in the bottom of a few beer bottles. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out (pun intended!)

While waiting for some parts for other rods to come in, I decided to sneak in some time for MY NFC. Here's the grip and reel seat assembly for your viewing pleasure.

This past weekend, Patty and I had the opportunity to attend the ICRBE at the Showplace in High Point, NC. 3 1/2 story flag located in the atrium of the Showplace Over the last few years, I have developed a great relationship with my component supplier, and she asked us if we would help...

This past weekend, I attended/worked a booth at the International Custom Rod Building Exposition (ICRBE) in High Point, NC. We sold Batson, St. Croix and North Fork blanks and various other rod building components. I currently fish St. Croix and Batson rods, but no North Fork. Since we sell 'em...

I put that in my 16' Sea Nymph. Nice stuff......a little hard on the knees if you're wearing shorts. I don't remember it costing that much, but that was in 2004.
