What do you guys think??

I used a Rainshador RX6 Blank moderate fast to fast depending on who youtalk to
Recoil Guides
Custom Titanium Rings
Custom Cork Reel Seat
Custom Handle trimmed with Burnt Cork

I'm happy with it so far I'll know for sure in a couple weeks

    Skip,
    Nice back country rod.
    Come on now, Skip, I told you about the 6'6" 2wt right?
    I even landed them on my other 1wt.

    Remember, there's a fly assortment for first one out.  Might be worth it.

       With my kind of luck I'd go for the flies and still wind up landing a fish.

    I was thinking the same for Skip.  Light rod, lighter tippet, and he'd still end up landing a fish.  Say, something in the 29" range.   I can't wait to fish with you two together.  He's a heck of a fisherman, as I suspect you are, as well.

    T.T,
        Sometimes I do fairly well.  Unless, of course I'm fishing around a certain Bughawk.  He catches about 4 to my 1.  Best day I have honestly ever had was 8 fish brought "to hand" and released.  What is really weird is about three years ago a friend of mine from KY and I came up and caught an average of 5 fish apiece for 3 days and on the 4th day when we wanted some to take home. . . . .  completely skunked!  But even if I do well, my partner will get the prizes.  Or I'll have a drawing.  Just my way of saying thanks.
    You have a pm!

    Nice work Skip but I'm telling you, "Get some ear protection".  You can't see as it is, don't want you to be asking for people to repeat themselves do you?  Also get something together for air quality.
