    There it is, my first completed rod...not without it's flaws but overall I'm pleased. Set up as follows: Blank - Rainshadow RX7 6'6" 2wt Reel Seat - Pac Bay, Woven Graphite Insert, Black Hardware Cork Grip - My own hand-turned Burl Cork Hook Keeper - Fuji Flip Up, Black Guides - Single Foot Snakes Reel - Teton #3
  4. Well, there it is, this was my first attempt at turning my own handle. I used Grade B Burl Cork rings (whopping $0.25 each) along with Flor Cork for the ends. I did some grading of the burl rings and opted to utilize all the rings with large chunks of cork in this particular handle. Of my first three, I like this one the best. FYI I turned it on a powerdrill using the methods described in Graphite Rod Building on Fly Anglers Online.
