Here is the rod that Noles built as a raffle prize.
Its a 2pc 7' M power, fast action, and will cast a country mile.
Thank you Phinla.

Wait a minute Noles builds rods ???Has anyone seen that damn top water beast he's building me since Christmas !! I was told that it only needs one more coat for weeks . I know it will be worth the wait because he makes exceptional rods. Even I catch fish with his rods so he must have a huge jar of mojo that he spirnkles onto the ones he makes for me. Hey Noles how about a picture just to wet my appetite !!

Jeesh....I bet you that Michelangelo didn't have to take this much abuse!
Man, golden retriever hair and rod building does not mix well. Three coats of finish and your boys hair are covered. The rod is a split grip St. Croix SCIII Inshore series. I used Fuji alconites and micro running guides. Ten of the micro-guides weigh about the same as a size 6 running guide.
Vlap, I'm just waiting for Brown to deliver. Should have it ready for you by the end of tarpon season.

Now that's one light rod !! Everything is going to fell like a moster on that rod, which is great since I'm the king of pinfish.
