For my 3rd rod build ever I think it turned out really good. The guys at blue halo are awesome and a great help, Ill let you guys no how it perorms tomorrrow. Its a little heavier than my graphite rods so I hope im able to handle it.

I am not familiar with Blue Halo, but I am assuming that it is a fiberglass rod. Fiberglass has a very different feel and flex. Most have a slower action, so try slowing your cast down and smoothing it out. I think you are going to love it. Beautiful rod!

Yeah its glass and has slow action thats why I got it and love the color. I have a 4wt allen that has a med action and love the way that feels so I thought I would give it a try. I casted it in the yard a few times and feels great, cant wait to wet some line tomorrow!

I cast a few different models at the Expo this year. Love the colors. They do have a little more weight to them. Balance that out with a heavier reel.
