1836 Custom Rods

Normally when I go out on a guided trip I like to give a full breakdown on how well the trip went but, my brain is fried from the not yet Summer heat and this picture should tell you all you need to know what it's like going fishing with Capt. Zach with Full Send Guide Service

Despite the efforts of the local flying bug population I was finally able to finish the US flag rod. Just in time for it to be on the water this Memorial Day weekend.

This beautiful rod is built on a Jawbone 1052, a heavy 10' 30-100lb surf blank designed to handle everything from monster bull reds to sharks longer than I am tall.

To handle all that tough work she's built with a set of my custom EVA grips, an aluminum reel seat with a locking nut the keep the reel secure, and a full set of heavy duty stainless steel guides from Alps

This rod was commissioned by a friend of mine, not for personal use but, instead to be gifted to a friend of his, SPC Brad Jones, US Army. A veteran of first Gulf War, being deployed to Baghdad with the 1st Infantry Division.

Well I was planning on getting this rod delivered today but this guy apparently had different plans.
