Ya I eventually want to get a float rod tied up here soon.. depends on how much I have left over from my school loans.(With all my doctor visits and medications lately looks like Ima be broke.)
I don't really like a noodle rod though. A 4-10lb 10'-10'6 would be perfect!(whatever that is in rod wt...?)
mike 123 i have a good freind that owns a rod building company he only does custom work and does an awsome job he can take clay molds of your grip and for arm and mold the cork to fit your grip and arm with a 2 piace butt and titanum eyes it helps make a liter and funer to fish rod

Your hands never really touch the cork they are always on the reel seat but the forearm mold idea is cool. If you have a spinning rod built on a fly blank you will lose all manufacturers warranty's on the blank just so you know.
i would say "about" a 7 wt . i got a 7wt fly rod , and this float rod "seems" to have a bit more butt . but i believe rick said the blank was a 7/8wt . i have it strung up with 12# mono/14# braid on a spare spool . damm thing handles winter steel and coho like a wet dream . had it tied for $180 (which i dont think is bad at all for a custom rod) cause he got a deal on the blanks .
nice i have herd some grate things about rainshadow blank's. what are those recoil guides made out of ?That makes sense on the cork handle. Sounds cool! We use rainshadow xst blanks and recoil guides (the ones that bend).
Sweet looking but expensive! His newer prototypes I have read about will be very very cool!
