Well I am iddicted. This rod taught me alot about rod building and the things to be careful for. I really enjoyed it and have a lot of thanks in order. First off i really have to say thanks to BigeyeGuy. He helped me with the getting stated portion and really helped me. Also thanks to Saltydog, Bushman, 1:11, Sixpack, MKUHN138, Calico Killer Kevin and everyone else i might have overlooked. I really appreciate all the help guys.

Nice looking rod, I built one back in the 70's and still use it. Got my limit at Jess Ranch with it last winter.

It looks great! How much money did it cost to make and how many hours did it take?

not sure exactly because some of the thrings i had were just getting into the buliding process. and things like epoxy you can use for many rods.
