Only real issues I had with it were the unfitting butt cap, the bubbles and the thread gaps. All but the butt cap are to be expected on a production rod. But that cap and grip should have been sanded to fit flush against each other. 150 is steep for that though. I figured about 50-80.00, I would expect better for 150.

Any idea where to get a hook keeper like that?

Custom tackle carries one similar to that.
The difference is that it is not angled right up against the blank, so the hook is not scratching of the finish every time you squeeze it under the clip.

I don't think you slip the hook through that. It was described to me that you slip the line through it especailly with worms rigged weedless. I looked on the Custom Tackle Supply web site and didn't see it, is the part unlisted?

90% of what Custom Tackle has is unlisted. Call Bob and he can set you up with just about anything you may need, just have plenty of time…

Time what is that?

Ted;
You might be right, but for me the last thing I want is to have my line rubbing back and forth in a situation like that. Then put it to use when I have money on the line in a tournament.
With the ones form Custom Tackle, I catch the hook under it, then tighten the reel a tad to hold every thing in place

That type of hook keeper is called ( I think) a Drop Shot keeper, whereas you snag the sinker behind it and tighten the reel to hold it there.

I used some dropshot hook keepers from Kistler and hated them. The ends of the wires were just snipped off and left that way, so I had to flatten the bottoms and then bevel the tops down like you would with a guide. Then I had to bend the loop part way out because there wasn't enough distance between the blank and loop to get the hooks in there. I like the more normal style hook keepers much better!

The ones from Custom tackle have been flattened and ground on the ends, but I still do a little prep like is done with guide ft.
Never had a problem not being able to get a hook under them, but then I don't use hooks larger then 6/0.
I also need corrected my previous post in that I too will hang a drop shot weight by then line in the keeper but never attach the line above were the hook is tied.
