I've already built 3 rods but I'm excited about this one. It's a Dan Craft Signature V 9044 blank. I've never casted one but after all the reviews I've read this rod is a treat and is comparable to the big boys, Sage, Winston, etc. It was also a great price, $86 with a 20% discount. I've got titanium coated guides, super cork grip, cocabola wood insert, and a titanium reel seat skeleton to match the guides. Total bill $162 plus my time. I'm not sure what colors I'm going to wrap it in but I'm going to try and be a little bit more fancy than the other rods I've done.

Is there anything other than fly fishing?

Only if you lose your nice fly rod in the Wind Rivers, and have to resort to Wal-Mart's casting rod. Other than that, nope. :2thumbs:

LOL, sounds like you need to make one also.
