    Talking Soon to embark on a new project Part 2

    After fishing the new boo (3pc. 7'6") and having worked all the bugs out, I metioned some changes were in order. Below are the changes I made to the rod, namely a different shape grip, a ring and saddle hook keeper , and a custom built double band reel seat (the wood is York Gum from down under). This new "improved version" is ready to hit the streams once more and land some trouts..............Ed
