Jim, I am by no means an authority on rod building. But I can guarranty the first time you stick a gimble in your belly to reel in a fish your going to regret it. There pretty but a pain. I have a couple of rods with them with caps on them, every once in a while you pull the rod out of the rod holder and the cap stays in the the holder and you get those four prongs right in the belly button, ouch. Nice blanks, I fish both of them.
