get a custom hastings/gusa

Tue, 2008-09-09 19:14

get a custom hastings/gusa made up, that would be sik. The zero is a nice rod, just need to shorten the rear split grip part thingy. I haven't used the steez rods but they look alright.

the steez rods are f****n

Tue, 2008-09-09 19:22

the steez rods are f****n nice, but i told you the price of the jap made on chris and i can't justify paying that much on that sorta rod!

mate, pop into work and i'll show you one my bro's making up for salmo. PUR hastings, you should see this thing it is mint! he's getting the 1-3kg but, so the next couple of models up from that would suit the luvias perfectly....

cheers

nah, what i'm trying to say

Tue, 2008-09-09 19:22

nah, what i'm trying to say is keep the split grip, but shorten the split like brenz done on his, it will look and feel better. It probably didn't make sense, kinda hard to explain.

Split grips are very nice though and i like them on my rods aswell.
