Anyone happen to know where I could snag a 10' 1wt to build into an ultra light euro nymphing stick to be a nice back up for my custom ESN

Maybe after 45 yrs of fly fishing I'm just to old to notice ? I notice a huge difference from those entry level rods to the rods in the 300-400$ range, then jump up to my esn and h3 euro rods and the differences are silly, and I wouldn't dare step into my beat or my flight with a max catch rod wouldn't trust it to take the beating the rods in competition take Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I'm actually trying to track down a blank that this rod builder uses as I dont like his build quality and his use of burled cork. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I also noticed that they include a 10'2" 0-weight rod as a 4-piece. Wow!

I've looked at them in the past, if I was to build one I'd be looking at 4-600$ depending on what components I use, but I'm quite happy with my Master Nymph Bellator as nothing I've used can even come close to comparing to it Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
