I have finally finished my 6 ft 2wt 4 pc rod. The problem was finding a rod tube small enough to fit it. The only option was to make one and a bag. I used a cardboard tube from Christmas paper and covered it in leather. I am very pleased with the outcome and it is stronger than it sounds. I will add some pictures as soon as I have finished uploading them.

I have to thank David Norwhich for the help and advice he gave me while building the rod.

Great looking rod,also nice work on the case.ATB Steve.

I bought it from Angling Habitat. It is a F662-4 a Batson Rainbow 6ft 6inch 2wt 4pc. it cost me about £50 in total and I also made my own wrapping stand. I looked at the one on the Batson website and made it from scap bits of wood I had.

Thanks for the great responce
Ian

Nice finish on that wee rod Ian, you've put a great deal of work in to that, considering you spun the thread and made your own leather rod tube, I'm truly envious of your talent.

Well done.

All you have to learn now is:

My name is Ian and I am an addict, I like to build rods

Very nice build.
