Here's another one I just finished up for Alan's co-worker Ben Tsutaoka. It's a UC Monster (40# stick), fuji SiNII guides, custom colored Forecast (alps) reel seat, acid wrapped.

DAMN!!!
Wow Jon! That rod is a true work of art, and looks like it belongs in a museum, not out on a boat. You continue to impress, and improve (if that is at all possible?).
Master!!!
Very nice Ron. Ben is one lucky guy.
Excellent craftsmanship!

Man. Was thinking this exact thing!
I gotta get my grandfather's silaflex off to you, I've dropped the ball on getting pix taken.
That's an amazing job up there.
Thanks everyone :) My favorite rod building quote ever, from Doc Ski: "Think progress, not perfection". I'm always trying to improve.
