Here is a recently completed rod. It was shipped to Montana in September 2023. It is a robust, fast action 4wt rod. It is also capable of handling a 5wt DT line. It is smooth, yet powerful with a solid butt section. It’s an all-round great trout rod. The ENTIRE rod is handmade in my shop, including ALL components, from raw materials. - Tip top, snake guides, agate stripping guide, winding check, cork check, sliding band, butt cap, cork handle, wood reel seat insert, ferrules and cane strips. This rod took over 150 hours to complete. This 7'6" 4wt rod (Serial #: 230842H-1) comes with two matching tips. The butt section is hollow fluted. It is accompanied by an aluminum rod tube with brass hardware, a protective rod sock, complimentary ferrule wax, and a ferrule plug. The wood insert on the reel seat is American Chestnut, the stripping guide is green agate with a silver bezel and nickel silver wire. The remainder of metal on the rod is nickel silver. The grip is Flor grade cork imported from Portugal. The ferrule plug is made of Pyinma wood and flor grade cork. The wraps are Kimono silk in Seaweed and Wasabi. Comments are closed.
