Another unpainted fiberglass fly rod project

Starting another .. but this time, it will be a two piece blank instead of the four piece. The tinting of this unpainted blank was done last month together with those 4 pieces blanks.

I try to make this rod slightly faster than the 4 piece by shortening the blank and apply 2 thin layers of Gorilla Glue onto the blanks. Gorilla glue will become hard when it dries. By adding it onto the blank, I hope it will slow down the deflection of the fiberglass blank.

This originally 6'10" blanks when fixed together was shorten to 6'6".
2" was cut away from it's tip and butt section.
