I just completed my first rod using a JM 400 blank. Clamped on is a JX with 80#PP. I'm hoping to put a good bend in it next week on a trip to MHC with Capt Ken from Swellrider.

Looks good Jim! I guess you did a mod on your reel clamp to make it fit that reel seat? I hope you get to break in the rod on some good fish down there.
I did relocate the reel seat to the side. I have a lot of time invested in carving the clamp out of a block of aluminum in the basement. I used Fuji SIC TSVG guides with a high frame for the stripper guide. Can't wait to join team Advil!
