Splendid work MGs, Sir. I hope it fishes as well as it looks, and rewards your efforts.
(ps ... My 'Wanted' list of rods is now empty, so unless something special turns up I'll be concentrating on sorting the ones that need it for quite a while.)

Nice save MGs! It does look pretty straight now, doesn't it?

It is about as straight as I dare make it. I had to bend the butt in one direction. The tip needed straightening in 3 different planes. Not really surprising with something that long and thin. It still has a slight but hardly noticeable lean. Good enough for me to catch a few fish with, hopefully

Following on from the rod wrapper competition thread, I have finished the work on the Sealey update. I decided to go for the same whipping as my Hillman's whole cane. Gold and black twist with a red tip.
