Nice job dude. Good lookin sticks. How did you like those tiny feet on the Batsons? Those were my first micros.

feet didn't bother me so much. i won't however ever use them again. i've replaced about 10 of them over the last 2 years. Sticking with fujis or kigan's now.

I only use K-series micros anymore. The regular fly style guides are too wimpy(bend easy). The K's also ride just a bit higher which I like.

Good looking builds! I've been cranking them out myself. Trying to get everything done so I can go fishing.
