Just finished building up an ARE 5/6 glass spey. I love the ARE blanks for pure value, and I'm really looking forward to getting this one out on the water soon! The butt is so big I ended up just throwing a skeleton seat with no insert on it and I really like how that turned out - nothing like black & orange! And I think the old Zeus Mach 9 (Martin) reel looks great on it and will balance it out nicely!

Nice, the reel compliments the rod well too.

Looks great! I've got one on the turner as we speak - hopefully will get some pictures tomorrow when the varnish dries.

Finally someone has figured out what those skeleton seats are good for. Very clever build!
