Nice work there Ariel. I take it the grooved piece attaches to the rod? I've been out of the sturgeon scene for so long all the new regs and now these rod balancers all the rage. I guess they make a big difference eh?

Hi Jonez. Yes the notched cylinder attaches to the rod. Easily lifts straight off the balancer frame at a strike. I've been using the balancer for the past few years and they really amplify the bite/pump that you would easily miss. Also adjust well with current and rocking.

That's just cool.     I did a set for my boat years back that worked great, but were just ugly!   

A good shop session with no pressure is pretty fine. Your work is stellar!
if it swims, fish it.
