First time I saw the rod - very cool - I could  make two those out of my 8'6"----then I would have a 433 .

Thanks Sleepy for posting this pic cause yesterday when we spoke on the phone about this rod I was secretly hoping to see just this shot!!!!!! Great pic SLeepy and keep em coming! Till our conversation yesterday I didn't even know that a 4'4" one piece rod was even available and am not really all that familiar with Bamboo rods . I know they can be pricey however!!!
