Bamboo Rod Profile: 8'6" 6wt…Strong Fish...Big Flies

Completed in 2024, this 8’6" 6wt is 100% shop-made and weighs 4.45 oz.. The butt and tip are hollow built and flamed. The reel seat insert and grip are made from flor grade cork stock imported from Portugal. The Olive silk wraps are accented by the silk tipping in Mustard, seamlessly transitioning to the cane. The fabricated, green agate stone is encased in a soldered silver bezel and stainless steel hoop, and compliments both the cane and wrap colorings. The ferrules are machined from silicon aluminum bronze 642 bar stock, snake guides fabricated from stainless steel wire, and the tip tops fabricated from stainless steel wire and nickel silver bar stock. All metal on the rod is blued, with the exception of the bright nickel silver ferrule plug, holding a hand tapered flor grade cork cone.

This rod was designed to wrangle in bass and to efficiently deliver larger flies to their intended destinations. Sufficiently capable of handling both warm and cold water species, the swelled butt and hollowing throughout pair nicely to allow a crisp recovery along with fighting power.
