Buetifull rod betty. Yea I can't spell. I like the tiger eye blanks a lot. I am building one myself for oh myself finally. I will have to post pics of it when I am through. One thing about the tiger eye's is they take to a lot of colors that brings out the color of the blank. I like the build on the wraps with the finish. Good professional look. Wish I could do that good. I think you will enjoy casting it as much as the performance when a trouts has got itself attached.
