Hope to get #3 done this next week, this will be a little different as Mike wants his built with snakes, be interesting to get a comparison between the three rods once all are done.

Cheers

1st cast today.  Lighter in the hand than #1 and maybe a little softer which I'm not sure is a bad thing for me.  Be very interesting to get some CCS data for it and #3 once it is finished.  Very pleased with this one  :cool:
