Another Rainshadow SWJ58XH jigging rod finished. I have built a few of these recently. Very popular choice for inshore.

Moving on to the next project. Started on a Rainshadow RDR 7’10”. First time building one of these. This rod will be primarily a lake rod used for Kokanee, AKA land locked salmon. Kokanee prefer colder water temperatures and will go deep to find it. This rod will be used with a downrigger to achieve the target area.

Sometimes a customer requests a build similar to one I've done before. This time it's a 10'6" Rainshadow BP1265. The trick on this project was keeping the same thread design all the way through to the smallest guide - mission accomplished. Now all that's left to do is get hooked up on some summer run kings.

Another successful build completed. This time a Rainshadow SWJ58XH. Great little jig rod with tons of backbone.

Oh Mr. Kenny, your Rainshadow RSU60XH is ready!
Soon to be equipped with an electric reel for some serious deep water fishing.

Been using these ALPS titanium anodized guides by Black Creek Custom Colored Guides. Adds a nice touch.
