So..... Whatcha gonna build, Betty ? ....I been sittin' on a 9', 4wt, 4pc graphite blank I got from H&H 4 years ago. It's gonna live in a tube in my truck so's I can stop and throw some bugs whenever I have a few minutes. I bought a nice Okuma reel from a fellow FAOL member for it about the same time. I'll be starting on that rod in a few weeks.
