![]() Completed in December of 2023, this 6’ 3wt is 100% shop-made and weighs 2.8 oz. The butt and tip are solid built. The reel seat wood insert is Bolivian Rosewood. The cork is flor grade from Portugal. The wraps are Kimono silk in Chokko, Black tipping and Tuscan Sun accents at the ferrules. The beige agate stripping guide is encased in a soldered silver (blued) bezel that complements the cane and silk colors. ![]() This tactical small stream rod is a prototype and designed specifically for canopy laden streams. The progressive taper is (on the slow side of) fast. It truly feels like an extension of one’s arm. I took it out last week for some winter small stream fishing. I fooled brook and brown trout by making delicate presentations both up and down stream. Comments are closed.
