Was very happy to trade a (nice) reel to Floyd in exchange for him building this rod for me.
Floyd builds everything himself: seat, cap and band, ferrules, he bends his own guides - and a pretty trick mesquite hex rod tube
there aren't too many places you can get a reel seat to fit your prewar Young reels, much less your 1917 St. George
tried to get a close-up of his rope knurling
