White rods can really turn out cool. Excellent creation there Jon and a very classy rod. Your photographic skills are equal to your rod building skills too.  I had a Seeker not long ago that was crooked for 18" so I sent it back and they sent me a nice straight one.

I only have 1 White Glass rod. All White Rods that I've seen have a nice even bend. You should love it.

UC's blanks are black, or at least the ones I have seen are, I think just the wraps are white and black. The rod does look sharp and very fishy.
