Sandy,

I must say, that rod looks very cool indeed. You will have a hard time holding on to that one, I am sure that someone will want to discuss taking it off of your hands. You will need to build a less asthetically pleasing version to keep as your demo.

Through Swift and Epic rods I came across Fin Ripple Media and for those of you who haven't, Google it. Steve Ooi is a master photographer who fishes for Kiwi trout with Epic fibreglass rods. His work is truly awesome.

Today he posted this shot:



Which resulted in this:



How many of you would even consider a #3 for salt work?  :z4 :z4 :z4

Tried hard today Sandy to christen the 370 but to no avail.
What I will say is that it is everything I hoped for. Circle C casts with a PTN were lovely and it chucks an Elk Hair Caddis in to a wind beautifully.
A rod well made and a choice well made  :z16

Sandy,

I have two olive epics but I really like the nude one so it’s nude for my vote.
