My First Custom Trout Rod Build time-lapse into 10 minutes!

- Hi everyone,
Welcome back to the channel. I finally built my first custom rod. I have been looking for a new fishing rod to pair up with my new Daiwa Luvias LT and noticed the prices were pretty high. A lot of of Ultra Light rods from Japan were in the $200-$350 range. I really like the build and style of JDM rods but did not want to spend the money for it. I chose to build my first custom rod for the same price (without the rod build kit) and have it built to my liking. I hope you all enjoy this rod build. I will probably build a few more for personal use and maybe for sale.
Parts Used:
Phenix Mirage Blank 7'7 UL
Fuji T2-ATTG 128 guide set + 1 #3 T2-KTTG guide with T-KGTT 3.5-1.4 tip guide
Fuji Reel Seat (SK2 SKSS16B-P / KSKSS16/ASH-P)
Purple trim with carbon inserts
Mudhole starter rod building kit

THAT TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL. TROUT COVE... GOTTA GET ONE FROM YOU...TROUT ASSASSIN FROM TEMECULA CAL
is this dixon lake?
Yes this was.
can you put up a material list?
Materials listed in profile now.
what kind of butt cap did you use ?
also part numbers on carbon inserts! thanks Bro
Nice build, that would be a fun bfs blank.
Yes it would. I will probably build another one for my BFS wheel.
I have a feeling we won’t be seeing the daiwa gekkabjin anymore :(
It will be used for Finesse Bay Fishing.
@@SimplyDopeK20 I mean if you want I can happily take it off your hands for a good price?
Did your winding wrap epoxy still feel tacky after the curing period? I notice that this happens sometimes to mines. I was careful in the correct mix. When this happens, I use a clear acrylic varnish over it to give the epoxy a dry to the touch feel.
After 8 hrs my wrap epoxy was sticky but after a 24 hr period it was good to go. I also added a second layer of clear just to make sure my wrap will stay on. This was all a learning experience. 👍
Dope Video Bro..
I'm trying to learn to build my self. I just ordered me some JDM UL blanks. Hoping to build me something nice. You mentioned you have a Luvias, I also have a Luvias.
I've noticed alot after the Area trout guys remove the magseal on the Luvias. Have you done this to yours?
Thanks in advance !
Hi, I leave all my magseal because I don't have extra mag oil. I prefer it to stay sealed also. Good luck on the build! It will definitely turn out great.
Legit build , never built a rod but how is buying the reel seat and guides sizes determined? You go by size of tip or but cap? Motivated me to get a blank looks like my TETRA WORKS react
Love your videos. Thank you for posting. Are you still liking the Mirage blanks? did you consider the Iron Feather blanks?
Thanks! I still love the Mirage blank. It is priced right for for the quality. 👍
Simply dope for sure!
What blank did you use?
Looks like a Phenix mirage 7’9 1 piece UL
Phenix Mirage 7'7 blank
Nice build, what reel seat is that you used?
Fuji SKSS/SKTSS reel seat. I had to order it from Korea. Going to try and order some more for some other builds I want to do. I couldn't find any color reel seats here in the US. I may not be looking at the right place for fishing rod parts. Hopefully I can find some parts local in the US so shipping won't take long.
Nice 👌🏾.
What did that run $ you in materials total ?
Material alone was around $250
Awesome video! Love to see a walk through/ commentary video on the next build. How about doing a spotty record?!
I will try for the next build.
I need one how much?
This was an expensive build. It would be around $350 for this custom build from most custom rod builder's.
@@SimplyDopeK20 I’m still interested if you can make a custom rod for me . I would pay the price.
How often do you re-spook your Phoenix iron feather braid?
I usually re-spool after 1 season since the braid is thin and can have some loose/cut threads.
So dope 👍
What guides are those?
Fuji T2-ATTG 128 guide set
