Arrrgggghhhhhh Can die one ah The nickle silver bits and binding on the Kurt Zumbrun 13 segment Evolution 7.5’ 4wt 2/1 tournament is out of this world. The only other rods that I have seen on the internet with such detailed work is from JD Wagner. Alberto

Jimmy, What I meant was that I envy the amount of fishing yourself and others can have while I slog away weekdays and weekends trying to get a building up ;D... These rods are to be 'shared' with other kakis whenever I can join you guys .. and of course for learning to craft our own rods ...hint hint uncle wong ;D Alberto, Kurt's work is indeed outstanding here are a few more pictures of the rod he is has built for me.. now curing after final dipping. BTW, TY's GF7633 by Gary Lacey will also look fabulous... and if I'm not mistaken, the new forummer 'salmotrutta' is an outstanding hobby canerod maker, I hope he posts his work .. see some of his rods here www.rodbuildingforum.com/index.php?showtopic=12053www.rodbuildingforum.com/index.php?showtopic=11917OK here are the other evo pics: Blank Custom Brass/nickel silver reel seat with birchbark grip This reel seat reminds me of Mike Montagnes work and the Emotion is a Mike Montagne taper... supposed to be the fastest cane design ever .. well, we will compare and see when Wayne Maca's rod arrive mid 2006 Enjoy! CY

What a marvelous construction. Can't wait to try it out.
Meanwhile, we shall begin our journey to the world of endless possibilities (and activities) on our project after the CNY.

Guys , Managed to 'test' the Keone Emotion and the Bougle with Uncle Wong, Billy and friend last weekend and the setup was bamboo on steroids ! Superfast and sharp!Caught a frisky PB on it during an early moring frenzy and again, this rod is made for big fish though it is lighter than the jaguar rod... But the consensus was the Marcello jaguar is still unmatched in terms of shear beauty, casting and fighting fish Also managed to caress uncle's beautifully restored Granger Aristocrat 9040 that made every cast feel like a roll cast .... the whispery presentation was just wonderful once I got the hang of it ... Didn't manage to flex BT's Zhu rod though as I couldn't let the granger go... ;D.. well, next round ;D ;D Hope to make it to the Osim and bring these for viewing Cheers CY
