These rods start off on Calstar Tackle Specialties blanks, trimmed to an overall length of 5' 6" and are definitely not your run of the mill offshore builds. Winthrop Adjusta-Butts offer the ultimate in "form and function" when it comes to custom fishing tackle. These super strong, lightweight butts have the benefit of going from a straight butt to a bent butt with the push of a button and without having to remove the reel. A premium cork fore grip with burnt burl accents give the rods a traditional look from the EVA/shrink tube used on most modern builds. The guides and tip top are winthrop Xpress rollers, which feature machined one-piece frames and heavy-duty rollers that allow for exceptional knot clearance and minimal friction. The guide wraps are done in a dark blue and black with silver trim that brings everything together in a pair of beautiful, yet functional fish killing machines.
