Glued up a 2/1 Prototype Rod last night. This is he third version of this rod. It will be a 7'10" Four weight with extra short size 13 ferrule. The butt section was hollow scalloped down to .075. Not quite as far as you can go, but should help with the weight. Next version will be hollowed just a little more to see the difference. This rod should still come in at around 3.4oz.
Ready for roughing is My version of a Midge. This blank will be done within the week. If interested in a great small stream rod, let me know.
Also made some ferrules out of nickel silver tube this week. They are for a copy of a very rare Heddon I used to own.
