Dan Craft 6'10" 1wt

This one uses a Dancraft 1wt 6'10" 3pc blank. The reel seat insert is Cocobola and has some custom made cap&ring hardware on it. Grip is turned using a mix of brown burl, burnt and aransas cork turned slightly smaller OD as per customers tatse/ Size 12 stripper with SFG's. Wraps are Teal with a slight metallic light blue trim. Super light weight rod that should make for a lot of fun in small streams.

Very nice. I am getting ready to build a new rod and would like to know where you got the reel seat.

Steve I told Betty That I would try to bring a turned reel seat to the BPS on Thursday night to the tying group. I am going to turn one for a struble reel skeleton out of some Canary wood.
