| Comments | Anyway I used an oversized ferrule padding the gaps with slips of wood and turning down to size. I just lightly broke the corners of the quad section. This rod is nodeless with the splices glued with resourcinal. As mentioned in the presentation Titebond does not seem strong enough for splices in two strip construction. The rod is actually a bit quicker than I expected. It may have something to do with the very dense leftover butt section pieces I used for material. The taper itself is an adaptation of a version of the Young midge I measured a long time ago. 6'3" 4 weight but may like a 5 better in close. This one had a ferrule |
