Hi Leland:

I received the rods you made me today. I have to tell you that they are
the nicest fishing rods that I have ever had the pleasure of holding. I
have a large number of custom rods made over the years and must say
yours are the absolute nicest. The components are top notch and the
workmanship is uncompared to any. You sir are a master craftsman and
artist!! We are in the middle of a wintry mix of weather but I had to
take a rod out to the lake and cast some jigs. From my limited casts
(about 30) I can tell you that those wood handles are out of this world
for sensitivity. Spring can not come fast enough for me so I can get
out and use these beautiful rods.

I plan on having a few more rods built before next season, I am planning
already on what type and looking at components. Please feel free to use
me as a referral for any future customers. I wish I lived close to OK
so I could visit with you and maybe wet a line for crappie. I will be
in touch in regards to more rods I have been planning. Thanks again for
your great and prompt work. Thanks again!!!

Sincerely yours,

Gary Ustik
