Wow that came out very nice. You should be very proud and I know your bro will love it. Excellent work

You didn't build a rod....You built a Treasure & a Memory. A real tribute of your love & respect for your Brother.

Steve,

That reel seat that you turned down gave me goose bumps when I put it all together and on the rod. I held the wooden reel seat up next to it...night and day difference. I can't thank you enough for turning that down for me. It completely made the rod.

Not a problem my friend. I'm just happy to be a part of something for such a good person as your brother(service man). He deserves it, and give him my thanks as well for his chosen life style when you give it to him.

TT,

A very nice, well thought out build! It's hard to keep something like that under wraps, isn't it? LOL!! He'll love it! I'd be speechless! Thanks for sharing and thank you to those who conspired on this rod. Semper Fidelis from an Airman.

Best regards, Dave S.

Thank you all for your kind comments. It means a lot to hear some fellow servicemen commenting on how good it looks.

As for my next one, I've already got a 4pc 5wt ordered for my wife!

Can't wait to see how it casts.
