Nice project.
I use the one made commercially and found out that use of low profile casting reel works better.
The shallower angle of the line entering the rod (tube) allows for better casting. Also a slightly heavier sinker should be used compering to regular rods.
I have both 7' and an 8' model. The 8' was my first purchase, but before using it I sent it back. Recently I did buy an 8' and now that I am familiar with usage of this type of rod, I like it better.
