That bass decal is a wonder!

Thanks much for taking the time to post the pictures. I enjoyed them immensely!

p.s.

This rod, by the way, is 9', 3/2, all sections full-length. It also came with the original bag and the bag stiffener.

The cork is good quality, no difference in feel I can notice.

The closer the glue ups the longer the wear factor.

One of my Heddon rods has 1/8" cork rings, this is a #14, circ. 1927. While I don't think of this rod as top of the line, its a neat rod with the bass decal and inter. wraps.

That is a very neat rod Bruce! Could you possibly post a picture sometime?

I myself like the 1/2" cuts.

Just wondering too.

Do you know why is like that?
