I made my own dryer from a B B Q rotisserie motor.It works great.I had an awesome Graphite USA rod that I lost in the surf and I want to wrap another one.

Nice wrap on that! Even though it can be tedious and monotonous there is something relaxing about it and I always think of all the fish I'm going to catch on that rod while building it. Fun chit. I'll post up a few pics of mine once the kid settles down for a nap.
I'm thinking about buying a blank to wrap for targeting T-sharks. What would be a good stick for that? Thinking of an 80# rod with my 2 speed Talica spooled with 100# spectra to an 80# flouro leader. I recently got a 400# capacity chest freezer so I can now harvest and process a T shark or two.
