thanks Josh,

Jan-Ole...

no i didn't weight at all steps, which i probably should have.

I'll post a picture of the finished rod on scales to give you the finished weight.

lately I've changed my grip slightly and found a bit longer handle suits me better. I lengthened the 5wt handle from the image posted to be just a wee bit longer than the finished 4wt handle which is 13" I know that this adds weight but it doesn't seem to distract from the lightness and responsiveness of this FAST recovering blank.

I'll update later today with a picture of the beganing and finished rod weights.

cheers,

tws
