Hey. New to the forum and to rod building. Just built my first Rod and finished the wraps, was looking for some feedback. It's a 6'6 fluke jigging Rod for my wife. Let me know what you all think.

I can't imagine that any lady would not totally be in love with this rod, the colors and the craftsman ship.

Good luck

Her and her family are the reason I got into fishing. I never held a fishing rod before I met her. She'll spend all day on the water and even bait her own hook.
