Well, It's finally gonna get done May 24/25, I am the first of 8 to sign up for that week-end classes with Mud Hole. Also ordered the S781 6'6" Ultra Light blank, SSR Guide set, some extra size 6 running guides (so the bobber stops don't hang up), matching tip. and a Tennessee handle w/ rings.

After many false starts, due to unexpected life things getting in the way, Lord willing, this will happen. Probably could figure the different grip mounting parts out, but just easier to do the class. Besides, It would cost as much as the class, or real close, for everything that you get with the class to build the rods...
I'll post pic's as things develop. Stay tuned....
