Elaborate a little on this rod. What weight and what type of blank did you use. Make our mouth water.

Thanks for the comments. This is a 8'4" 3/4 wt fly rod. I used Dan Craft's Sig V blank, bellinger reel seat and forecast TiGold guides. Overall I'm happy with the build. It was definitely a learning experience.

Great job on that rod Scott. my first one was so bad i stripped it and rewrapped it after a few years experience. You can be proud of that one
