After the cork pieces have been hand selected and bored to match the taper of the blank they are epoxied and assembled
onto the rod blank along with the reel seat and exotic hardwood pieces and pressed together and allowed to cure for at least 24
hours before beginning the process to shape the rod. Hardwoods are milled to fit under the reel seat and the reel seat epoxied in
place along with the hardwood bushing used to attach the butt cap. There is no tape or filler material used in the construction of
these handmade rods—Once Hank Altenkirch puts this rod together—It’s never coming apart!
