This is a land-based shark rod. Batson SU1569 blank cut down to 10 feet, Batson reel seat and spiral wrapped Batson boat guides. Customer chose the colors for a 10 color Madeira chevron fade from black, through blue and green to silver. Acid roller tip top. Texalium butt section with custom machined aluminum upper and lower grips. Tuna block in front of the reel seat. He has already brought in a 150lb. sting ray and said it had plenty of backbone to pull it out of the sand bar no problem.
