New Custom Rod Via Dvt 2025

dam0007 reply :

Sup guys, got the rod in the other day. This thing is a beast. We had one discrepency with it which is gonna be worked on in a few weeks. The issue isn't really worth discussing. So let me just say this is going to be the ULTIMATE shaky/senko/tube Rod in the history of ever!

DVT feel free to post whatever pics of the build.

PS I hope you guys have a napkin handy, you may drool a tad bit. Lmao

Alonerankin2 reply :

Cool.. What are the technical specifications?

Hogsticker reply :

Another custom Rod thread with no pics!? If the discrepancy isn't worth mentioning, why mention it? I sure would like to know what blank makes the ultimate shakey, Senko, tube stick. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess it's an Mhx high mod.

dam0007 reply :

Lmao I only mentioned it because I technically don't have a "finished product". Ok fine. So the stupid winding check above the locking nut is a hair to big after epoxy. So the little section in between I damaged loosening the nut. So we're gonna order a few different winding checks and and trial and error them till we have one that will fit flush when locked down. Sorta like Dobyns/Powell...

I wasn't there during the build so all I have is the completed Rod. Dvt should have pics throughout the build.

It's a MHX HM MagML/F Fuji Torzite guides Aero reel seat, cork split grip, paired and balanced to a Stradic ci4+.

And let me just say this being my first custom Rod I couldn't have picked a better person to do it! DVT! I couldn't imagine being able to go back and forth with anyone else. So Mike thanks again and thanks to Road Warrior for the suggestion as well!

Hogsticker reply :

Torzites - Heck yes. That Aero reel seat is super comfy. Good choices

Tim Kelly reply :

Sounds like a winner to me.

I am very happy with my rod and I HIGHLY recommend Mike's work.

Hogsticker reply :

I've been eyeballing that exact blank for a while now. Please give us your thoughts after you get some time on the water with it.

Tim Kelly reply :

I've a rod made on that blank and use it a great deal. Very nice.

Well heres the deal. I wanted something specificly for shakey heads. As I couldnt fish them efficiently on a BC combo and my Cumara ML is too whippy for hooksets and I run 6#FC on it. We originally decided on a ML then I thought about how I also would like to have a braid ready combo on deck for senkos in thicker grass. So we bumped it to a M. When he went to order the M blank was sold out. So I went on the site to see other options as in length actions. I came across the MAG line up. He said the Mags are like inbetween ratings. So a Mag ML would be best of both worlds in my case. We were on the money. Tube application was an after thought.

Had a tourney yesterday didnt make a catch on this particular rod yet. But the rod is ridiculously sensitive. I don't think Ive handled a rod this sensitive ever so I have no idea what to compare it. Current spool is 20# PP with 12# InvizX leader. I did manage to haul up a large branch around 40lbs of dead weight. This rod didnt break a sweat, I can see my self swinging in 2.5# Smallies all day on this rod easy. It casts just as good as anything in my lineup. Would prob cast better without the leader knot obviously. Its all around a great blank perfect for 1/8 shakeys,3/16 spider jigs, even threw 1/4oz lead headed keitechs. If you are in the market for a blank like this its definitley worth it.
