I just finished a couple more salmon rods. For these builds I chose the Tribal Ink reel seats which are a painted reel seat (pretty darn cool). I used a carbon fiber split grip design again as these will be primarily used for backbouncing. Fuji Alconite guides and Aluminum winding checks were used as well. I chose to do two different but wrap designs for the area between the butt cap and the rear handle. These rods were built on Rogue SM 827 8’2″ 12-25# blanks.
