Seems like a nice idea, given that the rod is made from wood.


Are you also planning to use a vastly improved silk line, horsehair
leader, and gut tippet?


I prefer modern materials, but each to his own.


I do have the silk line, I'm prepping it now. I've also made my own
furled leaders. Finally, after my surgery last year, I think I can do
the gut tippet, though there were a couple of weak spots that I'll
have to work around.

You'll also need a silly hat.



Man, there are too many rules in this sport! So, will this one work?
