    Just ordered my custom OTI poppin' rod from Paul!

    Went over to Paul's house today and had a great time pulling on some blanks and completed rods. I've ordered a custom OTI 7.5 ft popping rod for topwater tuna which should be finished right before the topwater BFT bite starts up in MA. I'm hoping to use it for some GOM YFT at some point as well; maybe not this year though. Should

    I took a look at probably 10-12 rods and LOVED his custom spinner with roller guides. The tip is super soft for popping and jigging, but I'm hoping we can find a lighter blank that has a comparable tip action for my version

    Paul's GUSA dragon is just insane. Titanium roller guides...this rod is as light as a light tackle trout rod The rod has a GREAT bend to it as well, but enough backbone to slay the big ones.

    Took the custom spinner with the roller guides as well as a GUSA Wahoo Jr rod outside and played with some weights Couldn't find a lot to use so we ended up with 10-12lbs...

    that last pic is the 7' WAHOO JR with the weighs off the ground

    that JIGGING rod can be used for bottom fishing also, they have been using it from mass to fla for bottom fish,
    the weight of the rod is lighter than the short JM rods, amazing . having a light weight rod and reel is a big key in jigging for long periods of time

    I'm sure I will be too I can't wait to start asking him "is my rod ready yet?" haha. Nah...I'll let him get back to me. It's best not to think about it and let the time go by so when it's done and ready to pick up, it surprises you

    The whole process is great when you have Paul build a rod for you. I have a couple of rods built by Paul & I am very happy with them ! I would seriously give strong consideration to use JPR custom rods to anyone out there who is thinking of or needing a rod built ! I am in no way saying these are the only customs out there , there are alot of great custom rod builders & rods out there . Everyone has thier go to person when it comes to this topic ! I just choose to go to JPR custom rods One last note , I would like to wish everyone @ Sportfisherman.com a Safe & Great 2008 season ! Catch them up !!!!!!!

    hah, well, I'm slowly collecting my setups. 2 for jigging (300g and 500g sticks) and 2 for popping (7'6" and 8'3") Unfortunately, I won't be able to afford a Stella if I want to actually put reels on all of these rods
