I inquired here for assistance in building a tadpole particularly with ferrules ..... Well, I'm done....here are some pics...it is a Baston e glass 780
(6' 6") 2 piece rod for a 4/5 wt....a fun build...cost under $35. I used a fenwick style cork grip and black aluminum reel down locking reel seat
I used black metallic thread for the wraps...and 3
lite coats of flex coat lite for the finish 
The
signature wrap...end of hook keeper wrap is roughly 12 inches and the sig wrap is marked at a fun 16 inches 
I used a spigot ferrule
