Point Blank Rods BFS Build
Point Blank Rods BFS Build
Alright... here's the result of my Point Blank Rods BFS build.. this is the PB701LXF blank:
From butt to tip
- CFX + Fuji EVA Butt
- CRB AAWC Winding Check
- No Rear Grip
- Fuji SKSS Split Spinning Seat with Fuji WCS Graphite Nylon Winding Checks
- Fuji Ti/SiC + Recoil Guide Train
- Fuji KG Arowana Tip Top
- Pigmented Epoxy Finish
- Total Build Weight : 2.9 oz
Color scheme is to match my favorite color finesse worm, Morning Dawn. Rod shown here with my 2004 Personal Order TDZ in Pink with a grey ZPI Mg spool.... M-Ito shown here with the spool from the Megabass FX68L as an alternate to match... Line is Sunline Sniper BMS. Will fish it this coming weekend to see how it feels, but now I'm matching Rod to Reel to Bait to Line ... my madness knows no bounds

Re: Point Blank Rods BFS Build
Absolutely love that your inspiration was your favorite color trick worm. That's what it's all about
Re: Point Blank Rods BFS Build
Thanks My NFC X-Ray DS 6100-1 build is purple because I wanted to fish it with a tricked out Alphas but ended up putting my Conquest BFS on it instead ... Alphas goes better with the NFC X-Ray SB 722-1 I built. That rod's color scheme is a mix of purple, green, and gold but it turned out a lot more green than I intended. Oh well, gives me something to do at least.Hogsticker2 wrote: โThu Feb 25, 2021 10:01 pmAbsolutely love that your inspiration was your favorite color trick worm. That's what it's all about

Re: Point Blank Rods BFS Build
I love the look of the grey ZPI spool in the PO. Great job.

Still have four other colors... maybe I should wrap a rod for eachGone Phishin wrote: โFri Feb 26, 2021 7:40 amI love the look of the grey ZPI spool in the PO. Great job.

Re: Point Blank Rods BFS Build
You would be able to cover the spectrum that way: finesse, crankin', plastics, jigs, larger baits.Cal wrote: โFri Feb 26, 2021 7:45 amStill have four other colors... maybe I should wrap a rod for eachGone Phishin wrote: โFri Feb 26, 2021 7:40 amI love the look of the grey ZPI spool in the PO.

Re: Point Blank Rods BFS Build
That is really stunning.
How do you grip it when casting? I keep thinking about cutting the trigger off of my fluke rod for easier palming while working the lure, but I am not sure how I would like casting w/o it.

Re: Point Blank Rods BFS Build
I always use two hands to cast, so it's never an issue not having a trigger. Quite the opposite. I find it annoying.

Re: Point Blank Rods BFS Build
I guess I use the trigger as a sort of "brace" on the cast, like I keep my pointer finger indexed on the rod and use the pressure from the back on middle finger on the trigger to help keep my thumb, which is hovering over the spool, in place and steady.
But maybe I just cast like a weirdo?
Re: Point Blank Rods BFS Build
Take a rod you donโt care about, cut the trigger off, sand the edges smooth, and take it for a spin to see how it feels for you! ... Zander canโt wrap his head around my crazy wraps

Just in time for Easter!
Re: Point Blank Rods BFS Build
Hah, I know, but I am going to feel like a real chump if I end up hating it and then have to see it every summer, standing in my wife's garden, living the rest of it's sad life out as a tomato stake.
