This is the long/narrow storage in the FROG. The original design called for the interior wall to be insulated and the exterior wall/ceiling inside the storage space to be left as is. We asked the builder to instead insulate the exterior wall/ceiling so that we could extend the envelope and use the closet as a flex space. There is a near identical space on the other side of the room...only

BNLG 12 false underwrap and single guide wrap. First 180 guide on spiral king mackerel live bait rod. A little dust in the picture...sorry.

Fuji BLG 10 running guide on spiral wrapped king mackeral live bait stick. Someone recently said they don't like the 'look' of the Forhan Wrap. I can't understand why not? I attempted to show this rod's owner the locking wrap, but for the life of me couldn't distinguish between the wrap and the locks. He'll have to just trust me they are there. By the way, those are trim bands...no underwrap

A hybrid acid roller design using a conventional roller stripper and @#$%& 180 degree rollers. I used a 12 turbo for the bumper simply because it was the first guide I layed my hands on...this is simply a test. I would use an 8 or 10 for the bumper in a real life situation.

I enjoy popping blanks (7' & 7.5') on the coast for speckled trout. I typically will use one for an all around rod that could catch trout, drum, or flounder on any cast. My favorite rod is a 7.5' popping blank (Lamiglass, but manufacturer isn't that important), with a conventional casing reel, with spiral guides.
