Thank you.

Sweeet rod for a Sweeeet lady!
Glass does handle wonderfully in the hand, yes?
Great job SWB.
.....lee s.
I see you built the rod with a down lock reel seat. Would have been my choice too. Matter of fact, that is about all I use anymore. Like the look and the way the rod balances with the down locker. Betty, what color is that thread? Good work kiddo....don't be too hard on yourself!

Beautiful work from a beautiful swamp witch. I hope that it is the first in a long line of excellent rods to bear the moniker "Swamp Witch".

Thank you all for having more faith in me than I did!!
Brad ... the thread I used for this on was a Fish Hawk variegated orange. I don't remember the exact name, but it came out really nice ... light orange through a deep brown almost black. That with the agate guide on the dark blue bank? I'm happy. Today is opening day on the Missouri trout fields. No way I'd be there for that ... can you spell insane? BUT, I will be there in the next few weeks, and will give this little gem a try out.

Congratulations Betty!! Really nice work. "You did it", or something to that effect, as the actress said in the movie Legally Blonde. Not insinuating that you are blonde. Good luck with the new rod.
God Bless America
