Very nice build and I like the blue.

For those who want to get into rod building. Not that hard once you get yourself or make yourself a rod building jig.
With the internet there's a wealth of information out there.
A properly built rod, even when using an inexpensive rod blank will still feel like a million bucks to you.
Satisfaction comes when you fish it and it performs beyond what you expected.
Best of all your customized rod has what you want assembled onto it.
Building rods can be addicting, you may not buy a factory built rod again.
Years ago, I used to work in the Fishing Tackle industry, I would say at the time factory built rods had issues. One out of 10 rods had the guides put on the right side of the spine.....
I would cherry pick a good one for special customers.
Have fun
