I recently finished a rod build I\u2019ve been working on. Originally, it was a boat rod for super jigging, but when I resumed bass fishing, I built a custom, shorter butt section for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I recently bought a new reel, I pulled this rod out to use it again. However, the distance from the reel to the first guide was clearly too short, causing line tangles, backlashes, and line snaps during casts. So, I built a new butt section that extends the rod ahead of the reel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a carbon rod shaft I had previously bought as building material. For the grip, I tried paper clay, soft modeling clay, and 100-yen EVA sponge foam, but none worked out well. In the end, I salvaged and reused the grip section from my previous butt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, I tried a clever trick for the thread wrapping. I once saw a video where someone used a special tool to loop the thread through, so I used fishing gear to do the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And it worked! I successfully pulled the tag end under the multiple wraps of thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To keep the grip from shifting, I wrapped thread around the edges and set it with UV resin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At the tip section, I used a slightly darker PE line, which made the color turn out a bit too dark. I was going for a subtle reddish-brown shade, but since resin darkens it, regular red would have been fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the underside where your hand grips the reel. It ended up bigger than I expected, but the shape turned out more natural, which should make it easier to hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the butt end, I used UV resin sparingly to keep it neat and compact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
