PK Custom rods

Hello folks!

This topic is 1st i've ever wrote here. Can't speak french, so i use english. I got this "new hobby" about one and half year ago. So far i've built several rods.
I'm 35 year old guy from Finland. I have wife with two kids (boy 6y and daughter 3y). I like to go fishing as much i could. My personal favourite is zander. Then pike, perch and seatrout. I hate this winter time when all waters are frozen.
I mainly use high end (Made in Japan) baitcasters. More than 90% of my fishing is with them. Those are more light than spinning reels and much more fun to fish with.

I'll post some stuff under this topic later. Heres something "teaser"

Finnish language but images talk by themselves :mrgreen:

Based on your testing/feeling, what is the low/high lure weight the blank can handle/cast/animate properly ?

Welcome here, by the way ;)

Thanks!

On video i tried 20g spoon as 1st. You could throw it, but it wont load blank. Then 30g spinnerbait next load blank a bit. After that its unbelievable good! It's moderate fast, but its like a spring. Cast like a dream 30-190g. Last "thing" i threw was 202g. Blank handles it, but it isnt fun anymore. Sweet range is 40-180 i think. Best all round pikerod what i've tested so far. Easily.
Couldn't test casting distances, cause place i was casting is surrounded with ice. I have no clue, how far this rod casts. I'll expand next SWB 807 with 6-8". Then it's perfect!

Ps. Was 1st acid wrapped pike rod. Never gonna turn back "regular" guide spacing anymore. ;) Acid is so easy to assemble.
