First LMB on the RAID Japan King Heavy

Coming attractions for Diffuser 

Couple of quick bulletpoints:

1.  I have NEVER attempted to "skip" a 170mm swimbait under an overhanging branch.  They dared me in a RAID youtube video.  To quote the man, "Yippie kai aye, Mo fo!".

2.  I have preferred longer rear handles for distance casting, until now.  I don't know if it's a matter of balance, length, weight distribution but there's a sweet spot.

3.  This rod might work for deep cranking down beyond 20' depths.

More to follow ...

Knob caps are supposed to be gold too.  Not quite orange but not gold!

What is the taper like on that Diffuser model?

Let me double check tamale but it might be fast or medium fast.  It's not extra-fast or I wouldn't consider trying to toss magnum cranks on it.  Catching a fish might be great too ...

@dragon1 I believe it’s a med-fast.

Some champagne gold knob caps will tie that whole thing in together. Beautiful combo regardless.

2nd fish with King Heavy, a bit chunky near 3lbs on the G-Dash Bluegill pattern.
