Hello Im new to this fourm and rod building as well. Just wanted to intorduce myself. I just finished my first rod which came out pretty good. I also got a power wrapper after wrapping the first 3 guides by hand. Man thats alot of work. Im looking foward to sharing photos and picking the brains of you pros on here. I learned alot already just reading and using the search feature. Cant wait to start another rod.

My first question is. My next rod is going to be a 50-80lb with full rollors and a bent butt. what company make a butt that will match the Shimano Tiagra gold. its more of a white looking gold rather then the Yellow looking gold of the penns.
