![]() Here is a recently completed rod. It was shipped to Colorado in October 2023. It has a medium, smooth progressive action, well suited for delicate presentations. It’s an all-round great trout rod, especially for delicate, tactical work. The ENTIRE rod was 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 8’ 4wt rod (Serial #: 230943H-2) comes with two matching tips. It is accompanied by an aluminum rod tube with brass hardware, a protective rod sock, complimentary ferrule wax, and a ferrule plug. The butt and tips are hollow fluted. There is a slight swell under the grip. The wood insert on the reel seat is Bolivian Ironwood, and 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 and the ferrule plug is Pyinma and Flor grade cork. Wraps are Kimono silk in Garden Green and Tuscan Sun.
