Jigging Rod 6ft 30-60lb Fuji SiC Guides *22lbs Drag*

This is a custom built 6 foot 30-60lb, 16 ounce, Jigging rod ...  . This outstanding rod design was developed with the assistance of Jim Weber of Boneyard Baits in Homer Alaska ..... This rod was designed over the past two and 1/2 years with a lot of design changes and testing .. You would not believe the size of some of the halibut caught on these rods. We believe it to be one of the finest jigging rods built anywhere ...    

From the gimbal up .. the silver marine grade aluminum gimbal is from ALPs .. note the elongated side slots to help keep you rod in your belt, during the fight as you follow the fish side to side .... The rear grip of this rod is Sharkskin in a custom diamond design... Sharkskin is tougher, lighter and smaller in diameter then foam .. it also will give you better hand to blank feel.. the diamond shaped design will fit under your arm with more comfort and less bulk.  It wont get slick when wet and if yow would like a little more texture to this grip .. just take a piece of sand paper and rough it up.   .. the rear grip is 14 1/2  inches long from the reel seat up to and including the gimbal. We found this to be about the optimum length for the 6 foot jigging rods. From the rear grip we go to the Fuji Palm Support reel seat. This reel seat is considered by many  to be the finest design reel seat manufactured for jigging ...  We at BaR-BaR tackle wanted a locking nut on all of our bigger poundage rod reel seats, they were unavailable thru Fuji,  so we had them manufactured for us .. so this rod as with most of our Big Game rods has a locking nut. This will help secure your expensive jigging reel to the rod. We consider the locking nut a welcome addition to a great reel seat.  The fore grip is a triangular EVA foam grip we have had manufactured exclusively for BaR-BaR Tackle, to our specifications, it is custom shaped to fit the front of the reel seat and transition to the blank ...We found the triangular fore grip to be the perfect option to achieve outstanding stability with your rod. With the triangular fore grip, you will find you will no longer have the issue of your rod twisting and turning in your hands as you fight your fish.  The guides are Fuji HNSG Silicon Carbide  guides..  These  guide rings are one of the most advanced ceramics available today.The best guide made anywhere for braided line.  

You will find these guides to be a little heavier in size then the Fuji SVSG and the Fuji NSG guides, that you find on off the off the shelf jigging rods .. they are stronger and a little more expensive then the lighter weight SiC guides from Fuji .. We feel the stronger guide is well worth the small difference in the cost. They are perfect for this rod and the extreme fishing we have crafted it to be used for. 

The rod blank is a 30-60lb graphite / eglass blank  manufactured exclusively for BaR-BaR Tackle by Batson Enterprise .. Batson is well known for there outstanding Rainshadow blanks. This blank is much like the Rainshadow RCLB  blanks or like the Calstar Grafighter blanks .. it is a graphite / eglass blend .. the bottom 2/3s of the blank are mostly graphite ..light, strong and sensitive the top 1/3 of the blank is mostly eglass .. faster, more forgiving and extremely durable ... simply and outstanding rod blank .. This blank will handle up to at least 22 lbs of drag .. i put some pictures of a rod built with this blank holding  22 lbs of weight. As you can see there excellent clearance between the rod blanks and the line with 22 lbs of weight ..I personally fish with 20 lbs of drag when fishing for YFT ... This rod weights in at a very respectable 16. ounces ... I wrapped this rod in burgundy, silver and black, I love this color combinations .. it has a" diamonds and feathers" fancy wrap between the 1st and 2nd guide ... It is a beautiful rod.

SPECIAL ORDERS are welcome  ... You may also order this rod in a 40-80 lb or 50 -130 lb blank at the same price ...  Rods may be wrapped in several colors including .... Royal Blue, Red, Aquamarine, Burgundy, Green or Electric Blue metallic thread ... we can also build you a rod with the regular Fuji reel seat with out the palm support ...the suggested color for the trim is silver or  gold.
