Very nice Matt
I was very impressed with the quality of your work when I saw the rod in its final stages on Saturday. It will look great with one of those new gold reels.

Great work Matt. All I need is a big boat and some bucks and I will then get a chance to appreciate the real effort you have put in. The bait fridge provides a great background for the pics LOL.

Lol How do you think it would go
with the roller guide on the tip. Don't know if it would cast too good.
$300 a set Huggy, a spare set sounds good (not).
