Very nice build, I really like the reel on there. Is that a reel that Mark sells? I see it as RDP FLY RODS marked on it. I did not know he had those.

Hmmm, the rod is very nice, but it was the reel that really caught my eye. It's got a look very reminiscent of the Hardy Marksman. Hmmm, I'd really like to see the other side.

That is very nice...and a 2.4 oz. reel. I'm going to have to look in to those as I'm having a hard time balancing a 2 wt I currently have.

I'll take some pictures of the reel and get them posted on here. I paid more for the reel then the rod kit, which is a shock for me. It is well made and balances the 7' 2wt very nicely.

Thank you for posting those! I suspect there'll be a few orders coming in at RDP in the near future. Very nice look. Size and weight may be perfect for my Featherweight rod.

I just ordered the 7'6" 2 weight blank from RDP based on Barker's recommendation. I think he's a good judge of rods; gotta save up for one of those reels.-p-
