I have just had Yeehaa build me a live bait rod for puka and bass ect.  I had a few different ideas for what i wanted and i worked through them with JP to come up with something that would work.  I wanted the rod to work with my MC Works TT belt so i didnt have to swap belts between jigging set up and live bait, i am using a aftco shoulder harness with it.
 
The Blank is a Synit Tuna Max 500, Winthrop roller guides and alps reel seat and gimbal.
Its all come together real nice and im very happy with the results so far, off to ranfurly next week to test it out. 
 
 
 
 
 
20 Kg dead lift test.
 
 
18 Kg of jigs in the basket but we needed a couple more Kg so in went kingi.
