Very, very nice, Mike. I am looking into building my first rod now. The fittings and everything look great. It's just a pity that we can't got a 7'6" 2wt Rainshadow blank.

Kind regards,

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

PTN, why not go for a 3wt 7'6" rod then? Doesn't have to be a Rainshadow, there are many good options out there, in 4pce. Go for it! With some patience and know-how you can build a sweet little rod for yourself.
