I've built a couple rods, but they weren't ultralights.
The last was a 10' 5 wt. Sage ONE.
I have two ultralight blanks waiting my attention - both TXL-Fs, a 0 wt. and a 000 wt. Winter projects likely.

Built my 6'6" RDP 2wt a few weeks ago. It's a hoot.

I have two 1wts and one owt that I built from his blanks . Great rods . I would get a 6wt blank but I'm a little bored with the color .

I just got though building a matt black 9' 2wt and an olive green fiberglass 2/3wt that I got off ebay . I'm also building a telescoping 7' who knows what weight it is , just trying something different .

Just finished a Batson Revelation 2wt. It's not much to look at. Just some blue wraps with no cp. Have an Epic 686 Fastglass in the works, but, that's taboo!

Took some quick shots. Reel seat was a lot bigger than expected.

For that telescoping rod, you have a couple of options for determining the proper line weight. One is the SWAG (Scientific Wild-Asked Guess) method, and the other is the Common Cents System. Having tried both, I certainly prefer the latter.

strummer , nice build from what I can see .

Pete, I just went out and started casting it with different lines . So far it like a 3 the best . I need to actually put a reel seat and handle on it as it feels weird taping the reel on !
