Rodger, what was on the bench is often a deciding factor for me as well. This one turned out nice. The dark list and the thorax are a nice combo.

What's not to like? Nice colours, nice material choices and good proportions. Looks like a winner to me. :)

That's a beauty, Rodger. It should fish well this fall.
