Yeah mike that's my plan, stay one week behind the class.

I want to check out the 11ft blanks while I'm at your house,

Either the 2-5 or 3-7 oz century blanks.

I had a whiney thread earlier last year with a similar complaint that a new mojo rod reel seat didnt fit my VS200. when I destroyed the shrink and cork tape by it rubbing against a bike tire, it was the perfect chance to replace the lower blank and change some things.

I got a H-22 (i think, rod is currently with rod builder to administer final touches) fugi seat which was made with the tightening thread on the top side, not on the bottom like most factory reel seats. well it fits my VS now and is pretty heavy duty, love it. Just throwin in my 2cents

something clever and related to fishing

You should also check out the Spod, cut 12" from the butt and have a super eel stick. Little softer tip than the 1327/8.
