Very nice looking stockwhip Ethan. Hopefully the keepers will break in and relax a bit with some use

Very nice, Ethan!

You might try using a little less force and speed, and see if the whip still does what you want....

You did a good job.
It rolls out nicely and flows smoothly.
Be proud.

Ethan, I thought it must be very light from the way you cracked it....

I have another fiberglass rod from Roy so I want to have another go at that stubborn old keeper sometime.
