I finally finished the only rod that I built this season. This blank has an interesting history. A friend of mine found a 10' rod that had been discarded. The cork was all rotted and the wraps had been varnished (not flex coated) and were falling apart.

He gave it to me and I stripped it down to find a Lamiglas label. I took it to CMS and they figured it was an early 80's S-glass cut down to 10'. In any case, I cleaned the blank up and retied it and she's ready for a 50 lbr

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
