Completed my Point Blank Perfect Fit rod. Spiral wrapped with all Fuji components. SIC micro guides. Rod performs very well.

Steve,
Sweet! I'm getting ready to start my PB build after I rework an "Old Brown" SCV rod I built years ago. For the PB blank, I went with the PB861MHXF rod and the same PF trim colors you have. I'll be using the AR Winn hidden thread sleeve instead. How does the rod balance with the extra long butt section? Ron Beloff Re: Point Blank Perfect Fit build

Great job, Steve! It all came together nicely.
Ron, I hope you mean the PB761MHXF since we don't have any 8' 6" blanks, ha! (We do have an 8ft Med. crankbait blank on the way) Re: Point Blank Perfect Fit build

Jim,
7'6" it is! Looking at Steve's build gave me some ideas for my rod. I like the way he used double red bands on the blank to mirror the double red PF trim! I will be using Fuji SIC micros but will not do a spiral wrap. I was planning at using red, black, and silver thread but it looks like I will need to add a gray to my custom threadwork (Clemens #54A design). Again - really really nice looking rod!

I'm building a PB691MHXF right now with the same colors for the perfect fit hardware. I went with the fuji titanium torzite micro guides but I opted for the conventional way to wrap them like Ron. I really like how you did the trim bands. I'm using black, red, and metallic silver on mine. I haven't been able to work on it too much recently but hopefully I can get it done soon to upload photos.

Thanks to all. The rod is balanced very neutral, the butt is 10.5" to the reel seat. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
