New rod - Sumurai NV8

[Daintreeboy]

Got my first custom built rod recently. Hence some of the questions I had on here. You may have seen the recent report on how it went. It's a Samurai NV8 blank rated 8-10 kilos and 7 foot long. It's perfectly suited to 30lb braid which is what I got it for. It's mated up to a Shimano Stella 5000 SW with 30lb Whiplash.
I wanted a good spinning set up for chasing Tuna along with the other types of fishing I do. I just couldn't find a factory rod that suited what I wanted. This one is 100% Carbon. The rod builder was Paul Herron.

Here are some pics.

Looks like a really nice job. You can't beat a custom rod!
