Starting a New Rod

[JoeE]

I finished sanding the epoxy and enamel off my 7’ 9” 2/3 wt. and also picked out the hardware that I’m going to use.

Thanks, I have cast several Carlson quads over the year's and was very pleased on performance.

Thanks, I was pleased on how the 7’9” turned out and the numbers are on mark when I mic’d it. The 9’ 4wt I’m pleased with the numbers as well (still sanding the butt section). But I re-calculated the numbers after I thought the Butt section would be too soft for what I wanted but it maybe too stiff now but we shall see.
