Not sure if this should go in the rod building section, if so i'll move it. On the most recent issue of northwest fly fisher (summer 2006) there is a pictures on pg. 67 of a small mouth bass and a rod. The rod has a cork handle that extends to the end of the rod, acting as the reel seat. Is this a "traditional design" for the purists? Or just a personalized thing? Thanks for any input.
