Steve,
That is my favorite rod of yours that you have posted so far. It kind of reminds me of a "super muscle car" the classic good looks but with new leather seats and a fuel injected motor.
If it fishes anything like it looks it should be kept in a safe when not being fished.
Do you cast these rods before you deliver them? How many rods have you tested and just couldn't let go? I don't want to know how this one cast because right now its perfect and I'm still looking.
