Since we are on the subject of finesse I wanted to walk you through my custom build on the MHX DS822 Blank. This rod is the High Modulus version which makes it lighter and more sensitive than the original. It is 6' 10" and rated for 6lb-14lb line and I run all braid to a Sunline Fluorocarbon leader for all my finesse and light saltwater applications. I ran the American Tackle Microwave guide system on this rod as I have fished it on other rods and have been impressed with the performance that match their claims. I know this video comes in at 16 minutes but I wanted to give a full explanation as I have had a few questions as of late about the spinning rods in my arsenal. You can find all the blanks and components for this and all my other rods at Mudhole Tackle.

The Drop Shot Rod
As the winter continues... I am hoping and praying that when I am west bound and down to Jasper, AL for the Southern Open in a couple weeks the "winter vortex" will have spun its way back up to Canada where it belongs. As I prep for the event I am switching gears from my normal flipping, pitching, heavy cover florida routine and getting out the finesse stuff, which I surprising enjoy as a change of pace. I am planning on drop shot, shaky head, jerkabit routine for this Open and will have that dreaded A-Rig ready if I need to pull it out.

New for 2014
Good Morning and Happy New Year (15 days late). 2014 began just as busy as 2013 ended; working on the company website, producing the destination catalog and prepping to travel to Dallas and Vegas for the Safari International Trade shows. In the mean time I did get a chance to get on the water to fish and shoot some video in which I compiled a 2014 Intro video. A few new additions for this year as I have joined Gambler Lures as a team member along with one or two that I can not quite announce yet. I am very proud to be associated with such excellent products and companies alike. Look out for me next week fishing the BASS Southern open on Toho and then in March as the Southern Open makes its return to Lewis-Smith Lake in Jasper Alabama. I would like to give a shout out to my good friend and tournament partner Hunter McKamey for winning the BASS College Series on Lake Okeechobee a couple weeks ago. You can follow him on Facebook at Hunter McKamey Fishing.
So, without further adieu, Lets usher in the 2014 Season.
