10' 4wt 4pc czech nymph rod
This rod is for a customer that wanted a bit longer light "wt" rod for Czech nymphing. The blank is a 10' 4wt 4pc. Real seat is a titanium finish Batson RA701L2 double lock nut seat, grip is one I turned out of CG3 cork from Bingham Enterprises and mixed in some 1/4" as well as 1/2" burnt rings. Stripper is a Hopkins & Holloway stripper with double foot snake running guides. Wraps are Cobalt blue (with CP) main wraps and NCP white trim bands. Also added a very small 1" butt out of burnt cork to help balance out the extra length of the rod and added a Elk button to the end of the butt.
Not to often do I get attached to a rod I build that isn't one of my own, but I knid'a hate to see this one go.
