Hi Mark,

What a beautiful switch rod!! The fish looks great, too! Did you make it on the glass blank?

Take care,
Vlad

Thanks Vlad,

This was built from the Lamiglas Fiberglass blank 9wt, 9'... the diameter of the butt section (0.6")scared me, so I made it to switch rod. It switch cast really good actually...

PS. You got to teach me how to build a real beautiful rod : )

Sincerely,
Mark

Mark,

I'd be happy to help with building advice...

I think glass is a great material for switch rods. All water-type casts are nice and easy with glass. I am thinking of doing an experimental switch rod out of some blanks I have in mind.

Mike McFarland should come up with one, but I am also looking for some less expensive options.

I also like the Litespeed reel. I recently got LS 4 but still haven't had a chance to use it much :-(

Regards,
Vlad
