#2604Thank you for the kind words. I used dims from The Lovely Reed, and it turned out just as described in the book: “smooth and powerful”. Loads very nicely for roll casts as well.

#2610Thank you all for the comments! I’m very often inspired by the rods posted here (by first timers and seasoned makers alike).
Hi Steve, the reel seat is made by Bellinger. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions about it.

#2616Superb looking rod Malcolm. I can't think of a more interesting lower handle and one that encourages the use of the bottom hand more than that one.

#2620Pretty nice Bill. I saw one of your rods at the Root River fly shop with your fiberglass ferrules. It looked great.
