    Have you been using the Minima guides much and what do you think of them? I used them for strippers on one rod but I haven't tried them for running guides.

    Sevier has a 6' 4/5 tiger eye. I am building one soon if you want a report. Steve, is that a spinning blank? Beautiful with the wood on the grip, blank color and thread color going together.

    Very nice work on the trim bands, Steve. I built a rod for myself on that same blank. If you cast it you are going to make one for yourself, it's sweet with a Airflo 480 compact Skagit.
