Good Afternoon to all! I'm thinking of building myself a new fly rod. I've always been a loyal st.criox user and always will. I'm a little hestitant on the new canteen pearl green color of the scIII. I'm looking to build a 9ft 4wt for crappie and bluegill. I looked at st.croix's finished rods on their web site and they look great. Has anyone built one yet? Any thread color advise would be a help.
