Talking finally finished

finally finished my rod. its nice, cant wait to use it. nothing special with it, no diamond wraps or anything. just functional. i did put a rubon striper decal. its a 10ft 2 piece lammiglass blank. fuji seet and fuji guides. spring green underwraps and black overwraps. cork tape grip and an expensive butt cap too.

...you should be reel proud of yourself Christian. With the determination you show, you will get yours ..- and then some. Keep focused on the positive things and life will be turn out great. I enjoy opening your threads. I like seeing your drive and persistance. If you do 1/2 as well in school as you do with your fishing equipment...you'll always have an ace in the hole.

Great job.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
