    Wow that is really pretty. Are those the standard Lamiglass ferrules? Nice use of the stripping guide, it looks light.I hope you don't take offense at some constructive criticism, I think it would look even nicer if you touched up the guide feet with black paint after grinding them.

    What are your e-glass rods like? Some guys around here like the old 7' 6" - 8' glass eight weight rods for steelhead.

    Greg,
    They are a medium action black colored blank. I also cut and ferrule them myself.

    Nice rod. I really like that reel seat. May I ask where you get the reel seat hardware (rings and butt cap)?

    Thanks

    Dave,
    The hardware is from some discontinued Pac Bay seats.
