Looks like an awesome job, Walker. I can't wait to catch my first dink on it.
Yeah, I purposefully had Walker make the handle a little longer, so the balance would be improved. As for colors matching...check out the reel I'm putting on it. Now that is pretty darned close.

I know it's hard to believe () but I probably wore him out a little with all of my calculations and what not. It is very frustrating not being able to put hands on it while it's being built! Walker's a real pro though...

Wow, that is great work.... nice choice on the reel seat. That is the only reel seat I like for a spinning rod.

Looks amazing as always Walker! Did you guys end up going with Bryce's spiral grip design thing that he dreamt up?

It was very reasonable. That's as far as I will go.
