Well I waited and waited for just the right blank and
now I've gathered together everything I need to build
my 2pc. 7wt. I wanted a green blank and read about the
American Tackle blanks so I thought I'd give
one a try. There's a whole bunch more to the
story that I'll relate during the build but for
starters here are the goodies. The blank is
called 'Green Matrix', the reel seat and fighting
butt are by Struble. Of course the thread is Gudebrod
and the rest is Pac Bay.
In a day or two I'll have a pic of the glued up cork rings and another
of some tools and the wrapper I've been using for going on 30 years.
Cheers,
