Bro Ho,
Is 16th June our meeting date? On 23rd June the current is slow current, so we can jig with lighter jigs...hehe...

 

[QiW]

16th June ?? i tot 13th June ?? anything laa .. just have to go there and spend $$$ only laa .. hahahahaaa

all oso bz making $$$ .. me forever pokai so damm free lorr ..

 

[rorytate]

ohh...13th June...sorry .. :) Bad sector memory :P

Hopefully i manage to get a Daiwa Revros or called Daiwa CY in JDM market :)

Also, i'm building a light jigging rod. Will be bringing a spinning and casting.. :)

 

[rorytate]

The rod that i intend to build is a 2 piece jigging rod. The 2 piece as in handle 1 piece and the rod blank 1 piece. In such, the rod handle and reel seat will not bend due to the parabolic action of the rod. It's a PE3max rod. Very thin blank and thick wall, thus it can bend kaw kaw. I have yet to test the rod curve but i have tested it lightly. It's also a fast taper rod.

Bought the blank together with bro KLMT last saturday at Sykt Kepong. It's not an expensive blank but since it's thick walled, i dont mind purchasing it. :)

I have completed the handle setup, have not done the guides as i have not purchased any guides yet.

These are the pics.

This is the handle setup. A curvy top EVA foam handle, reel seat, slanting middle palm rest and curvy bottom EVA for comfortable 'ketiak' fitting + gimbal for biggies :)

H18ECS Fuji reel seat

ALPs gimbal

Heavy wrapping on the handle piece. Smooth graphite and spiral for stronger handle piece. Also completed the short wrapping.

The rod blank, fast taper and it's spiral upwards. It's not smooth and you can feel the small little bumps. I intend to maintain the rough surface. Not going to paint or wrap it.

 

[QiW]

looks good ... whats the overall $$$ damage for that rod ??

 

[rorytate]

If you notice the rod has no guide yet.

Blank: RM60
EVA: RM15
Fuji reel seat: RM20
ALPs gimbal: RM18

The guides
Fuji HardLoy: is about RM70~80 per set
Fuji Alconite: is about Rm100 per set
Fuji SiC: is about Rm130
Taiwanese SiC: is about Rm60 still Silicone carbide but not branded as fuji

So take your pick and add into the sum.

Excluded the rod wrapping which is about Rm11 per 100meter(in a thread set) and you need 2 set for 2 different color
Then the epoxy is about Rm57 for resin and hardener..but you can use long time la..otherwise, i can sponsor some epox for your wrapping :) so it's free :)

hmmm ... like this can consider getting u to customise one oso laa since the cost does not seem to exorbitant .. just nice for P9 and JARAK trips one like that .. hehehehe .. but must try this coming trip 1st .. huahahahaa

u did not mention length of the rod oso ... 6ft or 5.5ft ??

 

[rorytate]

The rod is about 5ft6~5ft7 itumacam lor.. :)

The rod have a fast taper and it's quite strong too. Do come over to test test but without the guide first la.. :)

In fact you can do one by yourself too :)

 

[rorytate]

got a great deal for zirconia guides. Apparently it's no less better than SiC guides.. :)

 

[QiW]

5.5ft sounds like a good length to have on a boat laa ..

 

[rorytate]
