I too am getting ready to build a couple blanks. The first one is a Batson Ent. Rainshadow blank 8'6" 5wt 4pc and the componants that came with it and Snake brand stripper and guides. I was thinking of going a little fancier with the reel seat pieces and going with something like this....

And an agate stripper like this http://jea-bamboo-flyrods.com/2011/?page_id=969 to match the blank color. I just want to dress it up a little as not to have it look like any other rod.

The blank is one of these...http://dorber.com/flyrods.html#Li'l Streamer. I can't wait to build this one. It is a little unusual because of the number of guide compared to length but, it explains everything about the design on the link page.
