MAINE - Life in the Slow Lane
Yep just got back from the test run at the brook, easy to handle, casts better then i expected, so easy to flick out 20 feet 
No fish but this was more about getting the feeling of the rod I am very happy so far, going to head out in a bit and try another small brook see if i can feel a fish on this set up trying everything stimulators, small streamers and small beaded nymphs .... Did see some smaller cream colored bugs come off and had smaller brown bugs on rocks and around the brook maybe black caddis ? of very small stones ?
Looks great! I like the green wraps.
Thanks guys i am really proud and happy with the outcome 
not perfect but either am I ......... LOL
Rod is lookin fine there Ziggy, mighty fine!
