That is sooooooo sweet. X2 on bringing these forgotten items back. That rod is definitely going to have some great karma

Thanks for all the kind words....I only helped some, a real pro did most....he said he owed me a favor....but that blank sure slings a live bait with a real nice pop ....like when you hit the sweet spot on a golf club....effortless and being a 2 piece will help when traveling in the future when the 1 piece rods may not be able to make the trip.....going to have to down size sometime in the future or just move closer :D
