Nobody benefited more in terms of actually reduced building efforts than I did from what I learned from George's above mentioned posts.
My agenda concerning the the Century Stealths is the same as my agenda has always been here, spread the word when I see something new and potentially beneficial.
Not what I intended either. I initially intended a humorous reply to an obviously enthusiastic statement. Sometimes what's humorous to one is not to another.
Anybody who thinks I have an agenda of trying to make money selling fishing poles on this site suffers from two great knowledge gaps about me. First , I have donated far more custom rods, blanks, rods auctioned at TFCTFN or raffled for multiple assorted charitable purposes benefitting down on their luck members on this site, rods sold at parts costs for members children etc. than I have ever sold here for a profit. Yes I stopped giving away 2 , 3 custom builds at a time at every event back in the mid 2000's like other vendors here did, when the crowd changed and it became clear that there was no loyalty or good will built up amongst this crowd who would buy elsewhere on their next rod if there were a $5 price difference.
Secondly, if you think I need rodbuilding money at this point in my life you have absolutely no knowledge about who I am and how I made a living throughout my professional career. I like handcraft work and you need to do somethng with the products when finished.
Anyway , I can assure you I will not express a descenting opion about a rod build here again.
