Jigging Rod 5ft 9in 80-200lb Fuji SiC Guides Sharkskin For Sale

This is a  5 foot 9 inch 80-200lb, 14.5  ounce, Jigging rod ...  . This outstanding rod design was developed with the assistance of Jim Weber of Boneyard Baits in Homer Alaska.

This rod was built with the Hopper 80-200 lb blank. The blank is strong, light with a nice parabolic action. This blank comes with a spectacular pewter finish.  

From the gimbal up .. 

We have a new gimbal,  it is a hard rubber mushroom style butt cap .. with a slot cut into it so it will work on your fighting belt ..  a lot easier on the stomach if your not using the belt .. best of both worlds .....

This rod was built with a sharkskin rear grip that has a triangular wrap under the sharkskin .. extremely easy to hold onto when your leaning over the side of the boat trying to get the fish out from under it ... Sharkskin is a  tough material that wont get slick when wet, has a smaller diameter then foam and a better hand to blank feel, From the back of the reel seat to the end of the gimbal the butt is about 15 inches long ... this is a good length to keep under your arm for a long night of tuna jigging ... 

 From the rear grip we go to the Fuji Palm Support reel seat. This reel seat is considered by many  to be the finest design reel seat manufactured for jigging ...   The fore grip is a 10 inch triangular EVA foam grip we have had manufactured exclusively for BaR-BaR Tackle, to our specifications, it is custom shaped to fit the front of the reel seat and transition to the blank ...We found the triangular fore grip to be the perfect option to achieve outstanding stability with your rod. With the triangular fore grip, you will find you will no longer have the issue of your rod twisting and turning in your hands as you fight your fish.  

The guides are Fuji HNSG Silicon Carbide  guides..  These  guide rings are one of the most advanced ceramics available today.The best guide made anywhere for braided line.  You will find these guides to be a little heavier in size then the Fuji SVSG and the Fuji NSG guides, that you find on off the off the shelf jigging rods .. they are stronger and a little more expensive then the lighter weight SiC guides from Fuji .. We feel the stronger guide is well worth the small difference in the cost .  The weight is negligible, we prefer to over build our rods a little as compared to the alternative.These guides are perfect for this rod and the extreme fishing we have crafted it to be used for. 

I wrapped this rod in silver and black. It is a pretty simple wrap, but unique and elegant.  I'm going to offer this wrap in gold or silver as the standard wrap on the Hopper rods we are now building.

 We are also building a 7 foot 30-80 spinning rod and a 6 foot 65-200 casting rod with the Hopper blanks. 

This rod has a couple of available options at the same price. You can get it with a regular Fiji DPSH reel seat instead of the palm support reel seat .. a ribbed EVA foam rear grip instead of the Sharkskin .. or we can build it with high profile Fuji guides instead of the HNSG guides.

As with most new rod offers .... This rod may or may not be in stock at the time of your order. If it is not in stock, depending on availability of components, most orders will be shipped in 14-17 days ..

SPECIAL ORDERS are welcome  ...  Rods may be wrapped in several colors including .... Royal Blue, Red, Aquamarine, Burgundy, Green or Electric Blue metallic thread.  By using the same wrap and trim as shown on the rod in this ad, there will be no up charge for different colors. 

. These rods are crafted right here in the USA by BaR-BaR Tackle.We will place your name or boats name on the rod at no additional charge.
