Wow! That is one beautiful rod. I thought the headline "Go Blue" was referring to Penn State. HA! Ha!
How do you like the Forecast blanks and what action are they?
Bruce
Forecast blanks are pretty decent for the price. They are a Mod/fast rated blank which is a pretty accurate descrip, more mod with a decent crispness to them.

Add a few wraps of red ... replace the Michigan with a little JAYHAWK ... and you got yourself quite the rod!! Just teasing ... that is a beautiful, beautiful rod! Plus, my Dad was an alum of Michigan. He'd of loved it!

A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
Me too Betty, another Go Blue!
Only because they sign my paycheck!
