Hmmm... Not gonna do much better than that. On second thought Brad, put me down for both a blank and a component set.

Is it just me or does the thought of a metal ferrule on such a short and light rod sound like a bad idea? Anyone tried them before on short rods like this? What did they use to do on the old short Fenwicks? I may be off here, but a spigot ferrule sounds a lot less heavy and dampening. I'm trying the spigot.
