So, long story long, a customer (someone who I can now call a friend) fell in love with my blue UC Zeus1 vertical jigging rod (conventional). He wanted me to build one just like it for him. He bought the blank and the reelseat and i was going to get the rest of the stuff. He calls me out of the blue and goes, "dude, i want your Zeus1. Will you trade me that rod for the CAJ601 blank and reelseat, plus an Accurate SR12 spinning reel?". I was all for it because Ive always wanted a high end spinner but never had the coin to blow on one. Here's the rod I built to match the reel. I wanted to try something I havent seen on a VJ rod which is a cord grip. I think it came out nice
