Out of curiosity, whose blank did the rodmaker use? (Or is a split bamboo? Cane rod building is the next frontier I mean to conquer.)
A nice rod that responds well to one's casting technique is wonderful thing and a joy forever.
I learned to cast with an Orvis split bamboo 5 foot for a five weight- the old "Mighty Mite". Talk about a handicap for a beginner. It instilled casting habits that dog me to this day.
