one question

Jared, if your reading this

what colors do you want your guide bindings?

[QueenslandeR]

cant wait to see some piccies mate, should be good!

[Leighton]

what the intended use/ fishing of the rod Fishy or Salts?

sounds nice

[fishyman]

light snapper work i think

[fishyman]

here are some pics

not glued up yet

dry run

[fishyman]

what you think jared?

[Dan23]

that's a massive split, how's the balance?

[fishyman]

haha yeah on second looks

it needs to be moved slightly

just a dry run so no worries there

[dunney]

yeah def shorten the split distance(i told him to make it over sized initially,but now seeing it i dont think its a good idea!!!)

umm reverse the grip now from looking at it too and make the split around hmm 40-60ish
