Works in progress



2S60LF4 St. Croix SC II Spinning Blank 6'0 4pc. 4-8lb
2S70MF3 St. Croix SC II Spinning Blank 7'0 3pc. 6-12lb


Split grips modified from Fuji IPS reelseat and quicklock foregrip using the high tech method of threaded rod and a hand held drill
works well though


One issue I've had is that the butt on the 2S70MF3 is thick enough that in reaming the hole of the foregrip so it fits over the blank, it has made it very thin and its cracked
I've trimmed the cork back and glued a hypalon sleeve over the end and will turn this down to taper into the existing cork
The hole in the hypalon is a bit more "giving" and should be able to stretch openover the blank better
