Rather interesting idea. How did it work out for you? Guess balance wouldn't be an issue cause you can move the reel to balance just right.

Phil - I have made another one for my son since - we have used it enough to tell you that I really do like it. Not cold feeling even fishing on the Mississippi yesterday (Jan. 8th) and very sensitive - light. I like the look and will be making more - especially with the new texalium tubing!!! It looks awesome - love the colors...
