My buddies new Billy Stix......

[Montauk17]

My padna just got it in today and it sure is one sweet rod.....we are going to V. Bay saturday to try it out.I can't wait to save a few pennies and get a spiral stick. Billy sure does make a nice rod if anyone is considering one....the gold plated eyes are sweet with those lsu colors

Nice rods. Might need to break out the dollars

Its definitely worth the money......I love the spiral stick i had made. It makes a world of difference too

[Dink]

Got any pics of that reel setup?? Your description still has me wondering....................Rod looks nice.........Wife needs to work more so I can afford stuff like that............

[Montauk17]

Here's some pics.....If anyone is wondering it's for my padna that got in a motorcycle wreck and is limited to using a electric spinning reel.

[Dink]

That is super cool!!!! I don't know why I was thinking bait caster..........You told me otherwise, but it was stuck in my head............couldn't figure out how he'd cast it...........I see the wire leads......It run on external batteries???

[Dink]

Wow..........look at the size of that motor!!!! Bet he could get a BIG tuna in w/ that!!!

[Montauk17]

Yeah it has a battery pack in a case that you can strap to your waist...or it has a 12v attachment to connect to a 12v socket. Thinking about putting a 12v socket in tha back deck of my whaler for when he tags along. It works really well he caught some bull reds on it sunday.

[Montauk17]

That was really the smallest size that they offer....when he ordered it they told him that they are comming out with a smaller one next year sometime

[Dink]

Speaking of your whaler...........I kinda hope the water isn't as calm this weekend..........I'm interested to know how your boat does...........Mine was a kidney killer.......................But, it was much smaller than yours....................I hope to fish out of it one day, NUTTIN LIKE A WHALER!! Xcept maybe a Cape Horn???

[speck-chaser]

wow what a neat setup!!! didnt know something like that existed.

[Montauk17]

I had it in 2' chop and it was ok....i can see how it could be kind harsh over 2'. BUT it it one of the most stable 17 center console ive rode in.....just will have to slow down if it gets bad. I dont fish if its over 2' waves anyways....

[Hebert]

awesome..can't wait to see mine!!

hi travis
good looking stix you have there young man, i like that reel that's what i need then all i gotta do is cast and drink adult beverage and press da buttonbut then i never git to go fishinnn no mo cause i be up to my hyyynna in rod bidness kaint seem to ketch up fer tryynnn.
looks like we got that lower grip just about right for the rod holders on your boat.
folks you see with the reel and then the electric motor below that he needed enough lenghth so that he could put the rod in the rod holder and it be able to stand up right without the reel rubbing the deck , this would have created a lot of problem's like when he was running the boat and such, another reason why a custom rod builder sometimes plays a part in giving a customer a quality piece of equipment something you cant just go buy off the shelf, any way glad you like your stix and if i can be of any further help just let me know and thanks for allowing billystix custom rods to build for you
