Looking for good used king rod
Hey guys, my brother is looking to get a used custom rod to join us on the rail this year. He can't afford much, something at or below $100 in good condition for him to start on. Fast action and prefer an 8 ft. Let me know if you can help gentlemen and see ya on the rail.
We call it catching not fishing!

If you go just a little bit above that myself or John could build you a basic 8ft black rack custom rod.

Re: Looking for good used king rod
rocks reef has some good rods and you pay like $75 for one. just watch for air bubbles in the epoxy.

Air bubbles large enough to affect the performance of a rod would be the sign of crappy assembly and someone worried about quantity and not quality.

Re: Looking for good used king rod
even like medium size air bubbles. overtime the epoxy will crack and you will have to repair it.
