Hi there,

Here is a photo set from nice Franch gentleman Eric. This is, of course his rod.
He uses a MHX blank which became very popular blank in the USA and of course our Matagi components.
We are the distributor of MHX blank in Japan and believe the MHX is very nice blank.






Here is Eric's comment about the rod.

"The blank is an MHX SJ842-2-MHX.

Guides are Fuji Aconite BYAG 25, 16, 8 and BLAG4.5 (x5), top BMCAT4.5.

The butt is all Matagi parts : RBE21 Matagi Universal Rubber Butt Hend Gold, Matagi EVA Barril EBL and D16-VF Screw-side ring for Fuji Reel Seat Dark Gunmetal.

The locking nut is Fuji/Matagi parts : Fuji KDPS Quick-Lock Locking Nut Size 16 with Fuji DPS-SD16ASH B (black) with CB-K16SM Matagi Short Carbon tubes for KDPS16 Matte and Matagi K16-CBTOP Dark Gunmetal.

Hope you enjoy it.
