Who wants to see OTT, I can tell you now this wont see the rocks? Unless someone greased my palm very very well  
 
6 hours went into the handle, there wont be another like it!
 
 
Edit: here she is........
 
Handle
This is the my personal use stick, model Dakau Longtail Lakomai 88
 
17 separate parts went onto the handle section! At retail pricing those 17 items come to AU$170, and this is not including the blank and guides
 
Guides
Fuji Lowriders with chrome frames and SiC rings. I undertook extensive test casting to set this up to cast 200lb mono leader wound through the guides and onto the spool. Knots that will work are the PR, midknot, FG or 15-20 turn nail knot
 
Test Performance
Using Lures from 100-150g, every cast was over 80m, this was using 80lb braid that is marked every 20m. I did not record any max distances as this will come in a later test using the full range of lures this one is rated for
 
This stick was also tested for extreme loading. The drag setting was taken to 18kg and line steadily pulled out at this setting. Then keeping the same pressure on the load was surged to beyond 20kg. This test was performed with the rod held at 45 degrees as well as VERTICAL. This stick held these pressures without turning into a pretzel
 
Hope you enjoy the pics

Not Bad  

I had a chance to take a couple of vids today. This is showing how the leader flies through the lowriders. I had made a 12' long twisted leader using 100lb black magic and attached it loop to loop to a short bimini on the 80lb braid on my reel. I took a number of wraps onto the spool to cast. The line changes colour every 20m every cast was 4 colors leaving the spool. The cast weight was a 100g popper. I wanted to film casting a single strand 200lb mono leader of the same length next but ran out of light
