I'm very fortunate to live ten minutes from Hilevel, the biggest online shop for rodbuilding supplies here in the northern part of Europe. The owner offered me this blank for evaluation, their own 7', 3wt S-glass blank. Unfortunately this was the last one, because it's a really neat blank for brookies. It feels more like E-glass, and the weight is extremely low. Deep progressive action, on the Japanese side of medium, so to speak. Finished with sparse appointments in NS and lightweight PB snake guides. Pearsall Naples in straw. Not so much more to add. Shipping out to a gentleman later today.

Thanks for looking!
Christian

Beautifully built -- the very highest level. Your offset reel seats are especially well thought out and visually appealing as well.

Beautiful!

Shall we say ghostly, or ethereal?

I really like the way your signatures stand out in contrast to the paleness.

Great build and love the simplicity. I've built on this blank and it make a very through action rod, used it a lot this year when fishing small dries an my local small stream and really like it. My build is no where near as nice (workmanship) however, there are quite a lot of blemishes (black specks) on my blank. I did get it at closeout -50% though so not complaining.
