Anyone have any experience with a custom \"Basskhang\" ice fishing rods

I just recently purchased a custom ice fishing rod from “Basskhang rods” the perch version. Anyone have any reviews on this maker and their rods?

Never used one, but on a couple of sites were guys build their own rods I’ve heard good things about their blanks.

Never bought or used one of his rods. I’ve built rods on his ice blanks and they are top notch.

I bought the perch rod also and paired it with an Okuma Inspira. Best rod n reel I’ve ever used on the ice.

I’ve built on everyone of his blanks except the deadstick and Laker blank as they are new this year. They are great quality blanks. My rundown from ice shanty –
Quick update on the Bass Khang blanks, first impressions, packaged well, downside they were not labeled, but easy enough to figure out.

Finesse noodle, super soft tip extends back to around 6-7 inches, leads into a solid backbone light/ultralight, will make a killer panfish Slayer for tiny tungsten jigs.

Panfsh noodle, very soft tip extends back 6-7 inches as well leads smoothly into a medium/light rod also going to be a panfsh killer from tiny tungsten to small jigging spoons or a #4 slab rap, reminds me of a TUCR precision noodle.

Power noodle, WOW! Softer tip, slightly more firm than the previous 2 rods, ample medium backbone, good for small through medium jigging spoons, jigging raps, slab and rippin’ raps. I’m guessing similar to a bull whip.

Perch carbon, solid rod, fastest tip of the 4 I ordered ability for tiny tungsten to medium jigging spoons, good all around rod, will not excel in super delicate presentations, but will suffice.

Got the Panfish carbon and walleye carbon in today, and it’s another home run!

Panfsh Carbon – Super light weight rod, slower tip than the perch carbon, when a load was applied it has a curve almost like a fiberglass noodle where the last 5-6″ have lots of flex then has a slow taper into a nice “light/medium-light” backbone. Would classify this as an ultralight carbon rod, but with the backbone for large perch and up to medium walleye 17-20″ (that would be a great battle!) I think this rod will excel in super delicate presentations where you almost need the rod motionless, I could watch my heartbeat on the tip of the rod holding it as still as possible.

Walleye Carbon – another super light weight blank, very fast tip with an aggressive taper into one of the most solid backbones I’ve seen! This will be the rod to use for your larger baits, #5 rippin’ raps, larger spoons and stop signs, jigging raps, also super sensitive and should transmit the bite well to the angler. I would think mono would be the best on this blank because of how little flex there is throughout the length of the blank.

Just my initial impression of these two blanks, when I get a full build done, I’ll probably revisit this thread or start a new one with completed rods.

Wow thank you all that’s some Awesome info on these rods… so looking forward to this rod arriving, sure more to come.

Great guy to buy from and best price anywhere. I’ve built two, using his power noodle blanks and am very pleased with the backbone and tip.

Note on all custom rods: if you are wanting a “visual” fiberglass will be your best bet, if you want to “feel” the bite carbon/graphite is what I would recommend.

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to ask for reviews before you bought the rod?

Didnt really need a review I’ve had these rods for awhile now Love them. Just thought it was a good new topic.
