Good onya mate!!! (spelt correctly).
Wishing you many happy hours getting to know your new toy.
Imagine all the flies you can dry on that last hat.
Ummmm, might be best if you leave the magnifiers at home and get a pair of
glasses to use with the new rod. I am having visions of you dancing all over
the river battling against Darth Vader's light sabre on your cap peak with
your new rod.


Tight Lines Mate.

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?
