Looks good! Have you had a chance to try and cast it?

Not yet Gus. But soon for sure.
Well Gus, your question piqued my interest so I took it outside and tried a WF5F Peach line on it. With my awkward double haul I go 50 feet fairly easily. I'm plenty happy with that. Considering that on my good days with a full sized rod I barely get 60+ feet, 50 feet makes me happy.

Nice little rod, and the price is right. The test of a small stream rod is not the 50 foot cast, it's the 15 foot cast. If you can do that with a 5 wt banty, you have a good small stream rod.

Right on. So 50' with a 5? put a 3wt on it and get to a bushy tight little stream!

3 weight was my thought exactly.
