Thanks for the nice comments guys
The seat is a lakeland unit that allows one to break a one peice rod apart. I opted to go this way as gettinga tip into butt ferulle type blank made was way out of my budget. These two came to 7'5 due to the really short 17" rear grips, in the case of this blank the tip section and the butt section are rolled seperatly requiering the use of a ferruled seat like this one or Fuji's graphite version which I prefer more. So since its already in two pieces, to keep the rear grips to the customers 17" specification I had to 3" off the butt tube. Original overall length was 7'8"
Built with the Fuji handle hardware and minus the xflock sheaths on the grips the built weight is 500g but this is the really heavy stick and I cant see it getting worked for any extended period of time. The PE8-10 blank model builds to 400g full length of 8' or a bit lighter at the regular 7'8".
Thanks for the nice comments again, much appreciated. I really wanted to show them off as I am stocked with how they turned out
