I would like to thank all the guys that replied to my questions on my new rod building endeaver. Your info was most helpfu. I am a " newbie " to this post and find it refreshing to find other fisherman that really know what they are talking about. This is good stuff. Have a great gobbler day. By the way, any of you who are near the Susquehanna in Harrisburg PA, it is running around 6' and the smallies are rockin !!! Fish between the Front Street ramp and the Campground but, focus near the Statue. Dark melon-purple flake, green pumpkin-red flake big salty gitzits and black hair jigs. Practice your back-reeling and hold on, they have been fisty,lol. Good luck.

Happy Turkeyday to you too Jim!
