		[cool][#0000ff]I am aware that some of the new ferrules provide good flex and all that.  But, they also triple the cost of the blank...if not more.  I build and use many different kinds of "utility" rods...spinning and baitcasting.  I don't lovingly craft a single flyrod that I use exclusively on all fishing trips.  I want a one piece rod and not a lot of ferrules that add only cost and nothing else I can use.[/#0000ff]
