Finally got around to to building a rod, for my 408 (repainted). Epoxy will be dry tomorrow, I turned the cork so I'll seal it tomorrow. Looking forward to fishing it Saturday.

Hi Don,

Have you kept this rod one piece? Or does it have a ferrule?

Best wishes

Glen, one piece UL fast action, strictly a trout or pan fish rod.

Thanks guys! Going to walk the stream in the morning, and wet the line. The trout are stocked trout here, and most have been washed out of my area due to the hurricane (flooding). But the camo 308 & this 408, will get a work out during the fall stocking.
