I have a 3 wt. I built several years ago with a similar handle/seat. I was on my pontoon a few weeks back and had my reel fall off into the lake, luckily my drag was tight enought to pull it back up without unwinding the entire line and backing. Keep an eye on your bands when fishing they may work loose. Otherwise, I love the handle and the way you can feel the blank flex when you get a nice fish on. I wish my rod looked as good as yours, nice job Brad.
