My last LSCR was identical in specs but 7'3". Same for my current build.
Congrats on the LSCR it looks great ~c~ Welcome to the LSCR Club ~shade
Beautiful rod, I know you'll love it.
Thanks guys. Have to say it was quite a trip picking parts, designs, and colors. Lee Smith is one HELLUVA guy and from what I can tell so far, a master at his craft. I'm just afraid this is the start of an evil addiction. >:D

I generally use 7 ft + rods but this one is for tight quarters precision pitching and I seem to have my best accuracy and lure entry with slightly shorter rods
Very nice! Enjoy that as they are a fine work of art, and killer fishing sticks. You are gonna love it soo much that I'm sure it won't be your last. Trust me. Lol

I'm jealous! :(

Just what I need, another bass fishin addiction lol. I'll have to win more tournaments to pay for em. ;D
Awesome! ~c~ Very close setup to one Lee did for me. My intended use is for light plastics and light jigs around docks. Be sure and post a review once you've fished it. I'm probably going to go with the Point Blank when I have him build my next rod.

I'll be throwing the same lure types around docks and cypress trees with lots of low hanging limbs. For me the longer rods hit too many obstacles while I'm pitching. Got a Holy Angels benefit tournament at the end of the month, I'll post a review after that for sure.
Nice rod! Just out of curiosity, what is a ballpark price for a rod like that from Lee?
Wow!! That is a beauty!! Congratulations and Lee, as always a beautiful piece there !!

You need to contact Lee. Every rod he builds has its own price. I have 2 and both were different in price it depends on what is used to build it. Lee will work with you and in the end you'll have a Custom Rod that you help to design.

This one was a shade over 400. Depends on what you want, the options are nearly limitless.

Trust me, as the owner of 4 of them, they truly are the rod of a lifetime. Each one he makes is just impressive to no end.

If you convey to Lee precisely what you want in a rod and follow his advise, he will put in your hands the perfect rod. ~c~
And he's extremely easy to deal with. First time I talked to him, felt like I'd known him for years. Absolute great guy!

I'll second that. When I told him what I wanted in a Swim Jig rod, he started telling me what I needed. At first I was like "No, that's not what I want". Then after trusting him and making one cast with the rod, the man knew exactly what I needed and had been asking for.
I know its a clique, but if I would have listened to LMG a year earlier and gone the custom route, I would have saved a crap ton of money trying rods out to get what I needed.

Took my wife out to eat and when I got home guess what was sittin in the carport in a pvc tube. Oh my god! Not only is it gorgeous but it's one of the lightest sticks I've ever held. Got a brand new never been used Shimano Core 50 sittin on it and bout to go hit the yard for some imaginary fishin. I do believe Mr Lee Smith you have created a MONSTER! Sweetest stick I've ever held. For any of you guys contemplating having one made, DO IT forget the cost DO IT!
Core50?! Man thats gonna be a killer pair!

Did it have the pink string at one end? When you unwrap that baby it's like the best thing you can do for yourself! You are right. DO IT!

Oh I understand now lol. No sir, no shirt but that's ok. I'm a little fella and most guys don't stock 4x. 😊
To put it in perspective, the fish I'm holding in my avatar is a hair shy of 10lbs. Don't look like a 10 with ME holding it. Lol!

How much tuning can be done on the Core? I've never had one tuned before.

What cant you do to a Core? Bearings, drag, handles, pretty parts to match the rod...

Nice rigs RC. Ive been thinking about a td-ito matching rod. Only problem is I would be scared to take it out of the house especially with a mint reel on it.

We're happy to blow your money for you lo
In all seriousness, I don't tournament fish or fish for a living. I'm not a speed demon on crack and I baby my gear. A yugo will get you too work, but a 400 HP Hemi does it with a touch of badassery. I feel the same way about my gear. I've quit smoking, Coke (the liquid kind), hell raising and thumping skulls. Fishing firearms and Basketball are my release's so I don't kill people lo lo. I like a little class when doing both.

I did that and now I want MORE lo There's times while I'm out I know I should be fishing other baits but I really enjoy fishing with my LSCR's I have a hard time not fishing them :surrender: I have them both rigged up with soft plastics all the time. They are so easy to fish with there's not wrist, elbow or shoulder pain at the end of the day :)

I've had that same problem! The only answer seems to be have more LSCR's so that I fish more of my baits! :-*
Owning an LSCR is like eating a single potato chip. It just can't be done...My second LSCR is now in the Pre Construction fantasy phase. #2 will be my Frog and flipping rod. I wonder when #3 will pop out of the potato chip bag? Now that I think about it, I could use a cranking rod. ~c~
Lee's not going to have any free time for quite a while. ~roflmao
I have'nt even had a chance to fish mine yet other than throwing and pitching in the back yard and I'm already contemplating build #2. Knew this was gonna turn into an addiction. Lol!
Finally got a chance to fish this rod. Fish really did'nt cooperate only had 2 pitching bites, a 3-1/2 lber and a 1-1/2 lber. This is the most sensitive rod I've used. With 20lb Sniper and a 1/8 oz tungsten I could feel everything, sticks, roots, grass and fish. It definitely doesn't lack backbone either, drove the 4/0 Trokar clean thru the top of the skull on the bigger fish and thru the side jaw plate just under the eye of the smaller fish. The rod loads really well on hookset also. So to sum up my review of my first LSCR, damn fine rod Mr Smith! I believe it's the best I've ever owned and I've owned quite a few. I'm extremely pleased with it and proud of it and it won't be my last.
So glad she performed as we where hoping! ~c~ ~c~ Was an honor to build for you sir.
