Roger, Thanks for the response. I have built on the RS 7’6” popping rod blanks , great blanks. The customer wants a very “limber” rod. The one he is replacing flexes into the mid section easily, a very “whippy” top section. The R S blanks are a bit to stiff for him.. Thanks, Pat Barnard

In a recent Rodmaker it showed the steps to make a butt grip using cork as the body and a yellow foam practice golf ball cut in half as the cap. Very innovative and it will give you the color you are looking for. Pat
