Hello to all - just a note in case anyone is considering a similar build. In april I built on a batson 1087. I used rec recoil guides in a new guide concept configuration.I went with a vs vM 150. It turned out incredibly light with the tip slightly down which made it perfect for live ly,s etc. I caught my first king mackerel on it. Handled the load very well. The drag is exceptional on the reel even if it is van staals economy model. I used a triple forhan wrap and diamond 11 epoxy on the guide wraps. Very secure. I got a lot of comments from the local guys and their hoola hoops. It casted at least as well with less effort. I couldn't be happier. Think about it- then do it. Thanks for all of the ideas on this forum- Steve Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
