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.
