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?

The question would be which side is using the photo to bolster its own
arguments or shatter the other side's.

nice hat though...


Um.....yeah, I was just going to say that.
