First travel rod purchase in over 25 years.
I’ve been eye-fucking the MGW/Varivas sticks for a long, long time and just couldn’t take it any more…had to add one to the collection.
A brand new:
Morrris Graphite Works/Varivas
7th Fighter 70EX.
A 4-piece, piece of art.
Incredibly clean, detailed and unique build. So many colors that it’s gonna be tough to pick just one reel to pair it with. Great handle length for two-handed casting, taper speaks of versatility, and really seems like it would handle both single hook and treble duties beautifully, but could probably dish out some plastics in certain rigging modes as well. I’ll put it through many tests. Overall a very light stick and just ever-so-slightly tip-heavy without a reel on board, but that’s honestly not of any real concern to me as it should balance out nicely with planned pairings strapped on. Not to mention, it’ll most likely be used primarily for tip-down presentations. Love the embroidery on the outer hard case and the hand-painted alignment dots on each side of the ferrules. I’m personally, also a sucker for that modified small trigger.
In addition to that….Easily, the most gangsta packing job ever. My sincere thanks to the seller. Above and beyond. I’m grateful.
Thanks for lookin.

These are beyond beautiful. I’ve been following @builder_adachi on IG for a while now. Eye fucking the stuff he builds is a straight forward way of putting it. Everything he touches appears incredible, but this particular model is what grabbed me the most also. I must find this eventually.

@polkfish1 outstanding quality and attention to detail…you won’t be disappointed with aesthetics. I haven’t had any time in the water with it yet, but a fellow enthusiast here on the forum likes his, especially for the versatility. He did note, and I can confirm that it is slightly tip-heavy with lighter reels on board, so something “substantial” will balance it out nicely. I’m liking how the Monoblock feels on board. May also try pairing it with an old school ABU as well.
