All Star blank with HT Electra underwrap and trim. The Blue/Black mix overwrap is some thicker rod wrapping thread I brought back from Japan. Like a mylar and regular thread mixed so very strong. - Phil Richmond

Need help, does this transition look right for a Seeker 765XL, 40-50lb rod? Don't mind mess, preparing for Keys trip in a week or so and getting tackle together.

Caught and released on a Calstar Baby Boomer cut down my buddy in Japan gave me when I left, and Daiwa 9/0. Fought w/ no belt due to gimbal being to large for belt. I need to get this photo retouched, I was dissapointed by the quality. Had hard time fitting both myself and fish in picture as I'm 6'5 and fish too heavy to lift. Est 250 pounds? Phil
