Well I found another rabbit hole to go down. Man it’s been rewarding. I started building my own fishing rods. There is nothing cheap about it, but I know I am getting a higher quality rod than most production rods. And the main thing is I get to choose my components and position of them just the way I want them, to fit my style and the exact application I want them for.
The Mutha Rippa name came from my childhood fishing experiences with my dad. It was his DIY cuss word. Lol. You know, like when the trolling motor slams into a stump! Mutha Rippa!
You jerk your bait out of the tree and it flies back at you! Mutha Rippa!
Or pop your line on the biggest bass of the day... Mutha Rippa!
He got a kick out it when I showed him my 1st build.
One is a square bill rod and the other is for a bigger deeper diving crankbait but I was testing it as a top water jerkbait rod. Which will be my next build. Same blank but will have to cut it shorter and shorten the handle length making it perfect. The power and action is right on.
