Default Seeker Baby Ulua for offshore seabass and blackfish

Wrapped this one up for my good buddy Ralph to jig up some jumbo seabass and blackfish. This blank isn't the thinnest diameter but it is light as a feather and has a great moderate fast action, perfect for throwing 6-8oz jigs for big knucklehead seabass and great for deeper water blackfish up to 16 oz. Although the main target species with this rod are seabass and blackfish it will also work great for local cod and pollock jigging as well as stripers and blues. If I ever get some time to build a rod for myself this will be one of the newest additions to my arsenal. For this build we didn't go crazy with any butt wraps or other artwork but I still did some sweet shaded guide wraps and I think it came out beautiful. It also features premium cork foregrip, surf tape textured rear grip, spiral wrapped alconite guides, and Fuji reel seat.
