Good job. Give us some more info on the rod, thread, etc's. Doing that kind of opens up the discussion and will get you more feedback than if you just post the picture with no words.

Mike, Billy, Jim, James,and Micheal. Thanks! I'm humble by your comments. You guys are my heroes. Your work is what has inspired me to do this. It is an obsession and I'm already thinking about the next one. This one is a Jann's Sprotmans series IM6 6'6" MH, Fuji BSVLG guides and Gudebrod Rust and Garnet thread. Thanks to Mike Barkley for all his input. I will post my wifes redo.

very nice. I like the color combo. Good job for #1. I hate to think what
my first looks like. I know where it is but I dont have a desire to go look for
it. Keep up the good work, I know you will and Bill is right; it's an obsession!
