I am looking forward to seeing your rod...I found a site that has pictures of a couple thousand custom rods.

http://www.fishingphotos.net/photopost/ ... ize=medium .... If you haven't seen this site before, you will be surprised at the fantastic fishing rods here. They also have a section on the rod making shops that these people have.

I have decided to make a Rainshadow 10'8" Switch rod 8 wt by Batson Industries in Sequim Wa. I have a g.loomis steel-head rod and a lamaglas and a Older Fenwick. I like the ol' Fenwick as well as the graphite ones. I am sure you picked a rod that will make you happy. Hope to see yours and the fish you catch. I am not going to even start mine for another couple of weeks. Good Luck, Steve
