Very nice rod. There has been talk of these. How do you like the feel of the handle?

Thanks for the nice words.
It feels odd when just holding the rod - but when casting everything falls into place - its very comfortable and helps me keep my backcast high (in some strange way :-) and takes some strain away from my wrist.

Great work. Looks great. I've never seen anything like this.
