Gil Pope built my first custom rod in the late 80's, it was a 10 ft St Croix 2pc but I requested the blank. I'm sure he built on Lamis etc. He is still around, had been playing open mike at Tara's but not sure of the last time I saw him. His first shop was at the old Wakefield Sports and Arms, where Purple Cow is now.

Kevin, I remember Gil and I am quite sure he favored Lamiglass

No boat, back in the suds.

That's what I thought and what I'm hoping.. 1M or 1L would be fine. We shall see when he brings the rod to me.
