After three years of doing others things, mostly making bamboo rods I purchased a relatively cheap fiberglass blank. Bought the modern way - via internet. So, I didn't know what the blank will look like till I received it. Surprisingly quite good, translucent pale green glass with nice progressive/tip action. I'm used to bamboo rods so this one looks quite fast to me.. I finished it with grip made from cork rings from Mrs.Marcia, reel seat insert is also portuguese cork. RS hardware is aluminum, very light. Green agate ring stripping guide, snakes and hook keeper made from stainless steel wire 0.7mm. Wraps are Mettler nylon with claret Pearsall's silk.. I'm quite pleased how the rod turned out ;)
