First cast on a very powerful 8ft 5wgt.
3 piece with bamboo ferrules. Green silk red tips, still needs a couple of coats on the mid and tip section. But wow it has some punch.
hopefully it will get some use this season as its taken aged to finish.........
A few minor issues, really wish I had gone with a darker agate Oh well
Cheers
