    Default 7' 3/4wt Tiger Eye

    just finished this one up. Here's a nice small stream rod built on a 7' 3/4wt Tiger eye blank. Has a laminated reel seat insert with BUL5 Nickle silver hardware. Dark brown wraps that match the blank color with Dark orange/copper color metallic trim and some spiral over wraps.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    I agree Betty, but I really like those wraps. Great work Steve.
    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.

    Yes, you did.

    Go back to your thread on the American Tackle Matrix blank and check the references to Schneider Rods, Midwest Custom Fly Rods, and the link that Harleybob provided. There may be a couple of other sources noted in that link that I don't recall off hand.
