I typically only take 2 rigs with me north, but this year I will take 3 as I recently hooked up with Eric at http://www.tacticalfishingcompany.com/ to fabricate me a custom rod and matching reel.

Thanks Nate. I think you will like the rod I sent up to you.

@Tactical Fishing Co hey Eric! I know I will and I'm really looking forward to feeling the first fish on! It's already packed out in my rod tube and awaiting the trip north!.. good to see you join up and support the board from down there in Florida. Any idea when your website will be up and running or are you still doing just custom orders via word of mouth ?

@Dog, Did you take a picture of the rod before you packed it? Would be interested in seeing it. Or maybe Eric has a pic?

I did not. I planned to take a bunch of pictures with it up on Lake O for Eric for advertisement/marketing purposes with my nice Digital SLR Camera. If you can wait until early August, I will include a few of them in our trip report along with my review of the rod he built me.

I generally use a lighter action Ugli Stik for walleye so I can feel that light bump (at times).  For pike its a heavier rod.

I have a few close up/detail pics on my DSLR. I will try to post some later this week.
