Texas Micro Launcher
Just completed this rod going to a raffle in Texas to help support the Texas Rod Builder's "rods for soldiers" program. It's built on a Lamiglas perigee series PSH 99 2MT blank (2pc 8ft 3in) (8-17lb 1/4-5/8 oz)
Honey Locust wood split grip & butt, fully exposed casting seat w/quick-lock cork forgrip, all 4mm guides & tip-top all on top config.
Yes, the wooden grips add more weight than other materials but sometimes it's worth a bit of trade-off. This is a "show" rod intended to catch the eyes as well as fish and it should do both rather nicely.
