Title: Custom Rod Builds Going for a song....
Post by: E.T. on July 24, 2013, 01:07:15 PM: I do realize that I was a bit quiet for a while now, but I worked hard to finish on time for the Ufudu Show.

It was a great show and I came back with a few orders. Now I have a few rods and tubes left and they are going for a song.

I have two Gatti's in 4/5wt
