I have a few of the Silver widow and black widow casting rods. I love them. No issues with balance at all with the baitcasters I have on them. I do like the smoother black widow handle feel better than the ridged silver widow handles. I wish the silver widow handles could be sanded smooth but it would probably take the silver nickel layer off the carbon. No huge deal, just a minor preference
I also have a edge first strike spinning rod. It too is superb for the money.

You could put a thin coat of epoxy over the silver handle to get a smooth finish

The ninja rod master! My head just exploded.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@KCustomrods]

The way you figured out how to accomplish what was needed is fantastic as well as the engineering of the parts and pieces. Awesome!

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks Kevin!

Im hoping they get the CP1303-2 back in stock soon. Looking to build another float rod.
That blank is crazy. Maxed out their machine that tests blanks for breakage.
Should be a great steelhead rod.

Thanks for watching Bob.

Maybe the owner could have tried a bit heavier or larger reel? just a thought

[@fdxcustomrods]

It's not a bad idea, but reel weight doesn't affect balance that much.
