That would be a "tadpole".

I measured my little project rod and it came in a 5'4"
However after testing it for Stiffness Ratio: (grams/inch) and Recommended Line Weight
I am shocked and embarrassed to see how stiff it turned out to be. I fished it with a 1wt line on the Denny reel and on my little trash creek and it felt nice nuff for what I was using it for. I got a 1wt dancraft and a 2wt glass rod waiting to be built so I'm looking forward to finishing those.

The butt section came from a 3wt that broke and the tip is from the replacement of the same 3wt.
so I have a duel purpose tip and am hoping I can find a lighter tip to fit this bottom someday.
If anyone has a spare tip that would fit over a 5.2mm butt I'd be interested.

I also take solace in the fact that Don lives close if I dont turn out to be the Rodsmith I hope to be.
I just had to try it tho. It all looks so easy on the internet sites.

Heres to Hope,
-Ryan
