Recently built this for a friend. He wanted top components: Snake brand black nickel lightwire Universals and seat with a spectacular spalted alder insert. Fuji titanium stripping guide. Teak (716) ProWrap nylon wraps. He also wanted a specific grip shape, which turned out to be pretty nice. He christened it in the CO backcountry.

Great job Randy. If you keep going at this rate, some day I will be able to say "heck I knew that guy when he was just an unkown rod builder". You once asked me how much you should charge for a rod. I think I can safely say that your rod prices should be trending upward.

Beautifull build! I like the combination of brown wraps with the green blank. Also very nice insert and rod grip.
