Here is an old phynex excaliber rod about 6'3''. Ive had this rod for a bit and never wanted to use it much because thehandle was to short for my likeing, so i took part of an old shimano graphite rod and glassd it inside the other rod. It add some weight but the rod was light to start with so i dont mind. Puttn the grip on the end added about 3 inches and im happy with it. Cany wait to try it out.It does look a bit messy but i am going to put glass on some of it and clean it up I gues i put up the pics bacwards
