Guys here I have tried a bit different grip set up , it puts a little bit more weight to the whole build , but not enough to worry about , it is a spin rod for myself ,

When shooting a mime, don't use a silencer or his friends will hear you.
If camera lenses are round why do the pictures come out rectangle?

Sam the balancer is used as the grip , the butt plates are the Alps BPAs glued together , the blank is a United Composites [ Dual Helix ]  UC 60 H 4 to 6 kg , great blanks , I tryed white thread but I am not happy with it , I will get some of Bullards white ,
