SOLD on another forum. Thanks. Please delete.
I am listing my Scott F2 Japan Special 7'2" 3wt. 4pc. rod for sale. It has been fished approximately a dozen times. I would say that the rod is in very good / excellent condition. Mild soiling on...
For sale is a Lamiglas 8'0" 5wt. 6pc. rod built by Fred Paddock. This rod was recently built by Fred on a "new" old stock blank. I have only fished it a few times. The rod is in very good...
I stumbled upon this "new old stock" 0wt. TXL blank, so I had to snatch it up. I love this rod! Here are some photos of the build:...
For those who like shorter rods you should definitely take a look at this one! It has all the goods. It casts in close and has lots of reserve power. I found that a Rio Gold 5wt. was a perfect...
I am trying to decide on my next rod purchase. Does anyone have any experience casting or fishing either the Orvis Superfine Touch 8'6" 5wt. 4pc. or the Orvis Superfine Touch 9'0" 6wt. 4pc.? I do...
For a donation rod I would probably go for one of the Roger blanks as mentioned above. For a bit more money, Elkhorn makes pink blanks as well.
Here's a Steffen 7/8wt. 8'6" 4pc. rod I just finished: REC Recoil stripping guide; Snake Brand Universal Guides; YLI Chestnut Silk Thread; White tipping; Lemke Seat.
I turned around what would...
Thanks guys. If you have not had the pleasure to cast one of Mark Steffen's rods....I would HIGHLY recommend it. There are a lot of modern fiberglass options to pick from these days; but I truly...
Ha. Thanks Dave.
I'll let the rod speak for itself.

Here is a Steffen 5/6wt. 8'0" 4pc. I finished a couple weeks ago. This is a fantastic all around taper. I see why so many people hold this out as the best of the best. The walnut burl reel seat...
Thanks guys. Bob, I'll finish up the 5/6wt. Steffen and get some photos posted. In the meantime, here is a 2/3wt. 7'6" 4pc. Steffen build I finished about a month ago.
...
Thanks guys. Bob, I agree with you that a short 3wt. needs to be able to cast well in close. I need to try a 4wt. line to slow down the action a bit and see what happens. I've built a few of these...
The very first blank I bought from Mike McFarland about 3 years ago was his 8'3" 7wt. I was told this taper was "his best warm water rod" and that it was truly special. I built it out but opted to...
Here is a Kabuto 6'6" 3wt. 3pc. that I am just finishing building. I still need to sand the wraps and apply one more coat of finish. I usually use epoxy, but I tried spar varnish on this one. I...
The Superfine Touch rods are FANTASTIC! I've owned/built the 804, 663, and two 761's. I used the 663 almost exclusively in the driftless about a month ago. The 761 is my favorite ultralight rod! ...
Thanks guys. Now that the wraps are fully dry I was able to get a few better shots of the rod. I love the contrasting ferrules! They really add a lot to the looks of this rod.
...
I just finished a build on a McFarland Sanded Brown Glass blank last night. It is a 7'6" 3wt. 3pc. rod. Mike's sanded brown glass is probably the best looking glass I've seen. It truly has this...
After reading Lugan's review of his 6/7 Steffen 8' (see here http://fiberglassflyrodders.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=38721 ), I thought I would post some photos and comments about my 8'6" 6/7 wt....
john2: I don't want to speculate on cost, although I have an idea of what the cost will be. I would highly recommend contacting Beau at Stillwater fly shop.

So it looks like this project is underway! Beau, at Stillwater Fly Shop, contacted me this weekend to confirm that Abel reels agreed to work with us in developing the bluegill fish graphic! We have...
Now that the wraps are fully dry, here are a few more delectable shots!

I just finished this unsanded yellow glass McFarland 8'3" 6wt. 3pc. rod last night. For this build, I used Joel Lemke's LC1 down locking (screw lock) black anodized seat and the insert is turned...
Thanks fellas. I will keep everyone up to date.
Tailingloop: I will mention to Stillwater that you would potentially be interested. We are kind of casting a net to see how much interest the...
