Yes you read that right, I actually built myself a new toy, FINALLY!

Blank is a St Croix 907-4 new Burgundy series fast action. Did the grip&butt to my taste with exotic cork/brown burl/rubberized/trim of black foam, and just love the layout (of course because its mine lol). BUL5 Nickle silver, wood seat is from a piece I got from Rob at the Burl source, its a copper colored Box Elder Burl, Classic twist red/blk main and gold trim inner and outer trim wraps, also a FUJI full Titanium frame Silicone Carbide Insert guide. I was casting 7" long streamers with this rod 2 days ago and love it!!
