Oooops didn't mean to open that can of worms ::) But it was a very informative visit and I almost forgot to mention the RU Mer reel you gave me as well THANK YOU Phil! Ruth and I really enjoyed you and Dona's visit.

Looks like there is a lot of interest in your expertise in rod building TT^ chrz

By the way while I'm still on that subject. The black thred we discused, was it silk in 3/0?

I haven't used a lot of silk. Usually silk is used for light fly rods and such. Not such- it may need a color preserver.
