Tom,
Just received in the mail your fine magazine. Hats off to you and all that contribute to it. The articles were very well laid out and everything was explained so the average rodbuilder would have no trouble staying with the article.

I enjoyed the split grip article. Up here in N.E. we have been doing this with SW rods and foam grips for years. Good to see the FW rods being adapted to this way of thinking.

My only question is the lack of a fore grip. How does the transition from reel seat to no grip get tapered so it does not look "choppy".

Hopefully the gentleman that wrote the article can enlighten me.

Thanks,

Bill OConnor
