Very nice work on the fly rod. Everything looks great, from the wraps and finish work to the handcrafted reel seat :P

This is excellent. I was never much of a fan of the "Shoot" color, but this build has completely changed my mind. Well done!

Really really nice build. And this color is surprisingly beautiful.

Can you please describe the rod action? Is it between slower carbon and normal glass? And is it true #4 or does it lean towards heavier or lighter lines?

I'm thinking that my next build could be either this or similar Quartz 8' #4...

Thanks so much to you and everyone for the kind words !!

This blank have a medium fast / lively action, but pushes when you need it ! Very pleasant during the fishing action, I think it is perfect with a wf 4 line.

Also a 8'0'' #4 is fantastic !
