funny you should ask , i just finished my first rod yesterday .
the only thing i didn't like was the reel seat . the one i ordered never came and is presumed lost in the mail . i had to substitute another seat in order to get it out for the holidays .
this was a practice rod , everything done by hand , no moters ! i have a special rod that is quite old that i want to restore and use . i figured that the practice rod should break me in and build my confidence in the craft .
everything i put into this rod (experiance ) came from the posts here .
thanks everyone ! it turned out really nice !
