Finally finished this thankfully

[Steve C]

My main passion in life is fly fishing and I run a custom rod business and I always put everything I can into every rod I build to make them special for the customer, but this one was probably the biggest painstaking build I have ever done. Mainly just because this package is for an employee at a company that is retiring and his friends all went in on this as a retirement gift package. So I know it's going to be gone over with a fine tooth comb and shown in front of a large group of people. So couple that with my lifelong OCD and needless to say I have been STRESSED to the max for the past few weeks working on this, but I finally am done. Now I can breath a breath of air and relax....and go fishing myself
