Thanks Saltheart. I am looking forward to building a few more rods this winter and completing them myself. All done with the store bought 2 piece rods, they are a pain in the butt.

I always hated the way they always loosen up from repeated casting, no matter what I tried they kept coming loose. All one piece rods for me. Storage can be more difficult, but that is the price I will pay. Its worth it. Thanks again.
