Someone on another thread recently asked to see examples of this model. I had posted these in the Rodbuilding Forum but those pics have gone into the photo bucket. So, here's my rod, built early this year:

Thanks for looking!

Thanks all. It's a good rod, too, though it hasn't made me forget my graphite casting rhythm. It's steeply progressive, measuring some .462" diameter at the butt. For comparison, a Steffen 804/5-3 is .455" at the butt, and that one has another 6" of rod to support.

Thanks, scud dog! My wife actually picks the thread colors, so I'll pass that on.

Happy Thanksgiving!
