Mike thanks for the help today, making sure my measuremts and formulas were right. Layout looks great, stress test looks great too.

was way too cold and dark by the time i got done taping the guides on, but did hand some plugs on the line, a 3/4oz bucktail felt great, i then tried a loaded redfin, a ss darter and a heavy ss needle, all felt like they will launch a mile!!

its nice to have friends that are handy, toaster made me and greg a hand wrapper with an extension piece and greg made us a stress test rod holder.

i needed my lil bros help to keep the stress tester in place, but worked to see the line layout.
