I'll swap with Drumcorpfan.....He can build me a tricked out "MV DerbyWinning Marbelized Special" on the components I supply him, and I'll wrap him a rod with components he supplies me. There has to be some good MOJO in one of Leos rods!

I'll be doing one of those NERBS gatherings late March/early April. A "Rod Swap" for those interested , would be cool and probablly generate some great discussion on assembly and guide set ups....food for thought.

Hi Mike, looks like i have someone to swap with. i have some scales from the fish i got on mv was going to add some to the epoxy for some extra mojo dam things are like finger nails, will have to talk this up i think we can make this work. most of us build rods over the winter anyway so really what we need to do is decide who to swap with and what rods to build, set a cap on what to spend and have at it
we have all manner of styles as builders and can get some insite as to what each builder goes through building a custom rod. plus we have an excuse to get to meet up and

Looks like only 4 are interested...do we still want to do a small swap? I hope rod building isn't as trendy as some have said. I'ld hate to rewraping my own rods.
