And you want me to put my rods next to yours at the show............................As George Bushs used to say "not gonna do it! It wouldn't be
prudent at this jucture!" OK, I'll be there!
Oh and as usual, nice work Dave, you are a true artist! Joe |

This rod could use a glue line in there, somewhere....

Very nice work! Are you going to let people cast it at the show? How does it cast compared to the impregnated 3 piece version? Gorgeous finish work! Happy
trails! stvrain

I think it's about time we see a tutorial on that mortise work.
Absolutely stunning Dave. Rick |

Dave; Simply sublime! I think this rod is yet another example of your refined skills.
I also vote for a tutorial on the mortise techniques you have mastered. Best wishes from the snowy (10 inches in the last 12 hours) hometown of James Heddon and Sons. 
Remember, snow is trout habitat in cold storage.

It doubles the time needed to build a rod and you never know if it came out right till it's to late to do anything about it...
