Post by: mojoman on December 29, 2005, 07:26:27 AM

I'm finally done my prototype stillwater rod...is a Pac Bay International Series II with Titanium guides.....10 ft 3 pc 5 wt.....casts pretty good....is wayyy slow...so should protect my leaders better than my HMX 6wt....anywhoo...is pics here if yer interested....and yes...I realize the rod is not perfect...but it will certainly do what it is intended to do...and it is my first build....;))
