Fly rod Donation for Wildfly

Sent this thru PM's to a few Guys/Gals on this forum

Craig (WILDFLY) sent me this PM asking about a 3wt or 4wt rod

Craig Wrote

Jon,

I saw your 10' 3wt build and was liking it very much. Rubikinda
(my brother) told me about how he really likes the rods you've built,
and I was wondering if maybe I could scrounge up enough money from
my birthday and Christmas this year from relatives to get something
built by you. Nothing fancy, just a nice casting rod in either a
stiff 3 or a 4wt, 10' for high sticking. I really liked the reel
seat you used on the most recent build.

Hope you are doing well!

Craig

What would you guys and gals think about pitching in $XX.XX amount of
dollars to build Craig a nice fly rod from the members of this forum.

I will build the rod at no charge but I can not afford to pay for the
rod out of my own pocket.
