Nice clean way of assembling the Tsuka handle system, I've done a few of these installs and interesting to see the different methods. One thing though balance the rod before installing the buttcap.
Nice job. I’m looking into this system. I want it for a bass/pike rod so trying to go mag bass blank. Just wondering if the inner tube is .55 I hear it is so limits the blanks I can use. Was also wondering the blank you used.
@@reelbluecustomrods Cool, good to hear. I just make rods for myself...and I'm looking to make the next one as light as possible. So for casting I figure it's either the sk2 or this.
Love your videos. Always great instruction. Thanks!
Thank you Scott, and I’m glad you like the videos. Thank you for watching and commenting as well.
That's a beauty, nice work 👌
Thank you, and thank you for watching and commenting.
John, nice and very clean! I might have to give this setup a try.
Yes, and thank you. Especially when you put it on a carbon blank.
Great job on a beautiful component kit.
Thank you Craig, and thanks again for the continued support.

Thank you Kelvin and thank you for watching. The rod is balanced at the trigger, and sorry I did not mention that in the video.
Great video...very detailed. I've been researching the carbon handles. This answers some questions I had!
Glad to hear it Matt, and thank you for watching and commenting.
Maybe a dumb question, but do you ever put any type of protective epoxy over your g2? Or even something to make the carbon fiber grain pop more?
I do not, and thank you for asking. Thanks for watching and commenting as well.
beautiful build, just subbed!
Thank you very much Adam.
What about the front of the seat after you install the locking nut and cover, do you ise a winding check to close the gap?
No, I like to leave it open, but the kit does come with a metal ring to help take up some of the gap. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I’m currently building something similar but can’t find any of these reel seat links

Sorry for the late response Jarrod, but the inside diameter is 14.00mm. Also using a mag blank.
Thanks for watching and commenting as well.
👍 really good instructions a+
Awesome and thank you very much Travis. Thanks again for watching as well.
Why did you stop it at the handle and not go through the reel seat?
Stop what at the handle?
@@reelbluecustomrods the carbon insert
I wonder how many ounces of Paste Epoxy is on this build?
Not sure, but it is still an extremely light rod. Thank you for watching.
How do you like the real seat? There's mixed reviews on it.
So far so good, and thank you for watching.

@@rhodesianhunter9360 - those are both good choices.
How are people getting these when the stay out of them?
I think you can get your name on the back order list at Mudhole.
I’ve had it for over a year on the old one and got it on the new one.😊
Where and how to order that kind of reel seat
You can get them from Mudhole Jennifer. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Nice custom
Thank you Matthew and thanks again for watching and commenting.
Cool 👍
Thank you.
Красивый и легкий катушкодержатель.
НО тяжелая и не красивая сборка рукояти... слишком много лишнего.
Thank you for watching and commenting, and sorry you don’t like the handle.
Spinning boss???
