Erik, I really like the work that you've done with this rod. I like the photo work as well. What software do you use to make the collage? The photos really make your work pop.

Hey Mark... Almost any decent photo editing software will allow you to assemble collages like this. I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro and it works pretty easily once you get to know the software.

Can you share the details on how to make double ferruled reversible grips. I have been asked to make a matching set of fly and spinning rods for a family that wants to give them to their son who will be attending West Point. I wanted to go with black blanks and they want them to be travel rods. Your two handle/one rod idea could eliminate problems I am having finding suitable blanks, especially the spinning blank.
