Thank for the feedback. I think this will be a winter project. I have built a lot of rods over the years, but it has been 20 years since I put together anything suitable for the ditch. I have 2 20 year old Fenwick S glass rods, a 10' 2-8oz derrick and an 11' 1-4oz rod. They are heavy compared to the newer composite and all graphite rods. The 11' is also very soft. It will throw a mile but is not a comfortable rod to work. The 10' is a good pencil popper rod and will throw a big jig but doesn't have any feel. Time for a new toy.

Once again thanks everyone for the feedback.
