Here is a newly completed toy, based on the South Bend 290 taper by Wes Jordan. The blanks were built by Dennis Stone, and they were absolutely excellent to work with. Reel Seat from Golden Witch, Grip fashioned after the original SB 290 comficient with a couple of modifications, Winding check by GoldenWitch, Stripper, guides and tip top are Snake Brand, and it is wrapped in South Bend black/orange Jasper. This is a very powerful little 7 1/2' 5 wt, and is a real pleasure to cast. Hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I did building it.
