Not familiar with Mark Ruhe. Can you tell us a little more about him and his work ?? I mean, it looks like you two did a great job on this blank / rod but I think it would help if you could give us some background information to consider on a purchase of this nature.

Also, if you don't mind - what is the name on the blank. If you do not want to disclose it publicly, please send me a PM.

Thanks.

John

P.S. Somebody please buy this great looking rod before I have to make a decision about it. PLEASE.
