Just wanted to share my completed rod here. A few of you helped respond to suggestions for grip spacing and some of my hiccups I had with this build but it’s finally done! Special thanks to norm miller for all his help with understanding the KR concept system and utilizing it on this build. This rod cast fantastic and will be in the arsenal for some of my river finesse fishing!

I think that may be the first rod I've ever seen with the factory label on the top of the blank.

Looks good Al. Nice spacing on either side of the accent in the wrap. Nice clean edges on your finish. Nicely done. That blue thread makes me think of NRX.

Have you fished with it yet?
