Here is a very specialized rod due to it's size. It's a 5' 5wt 2pc built on a Global Dorber blank for a customer that is following the methods of short fly rodding Ed Shenk describes in his book Fly Rod trouting.

Real seat insert is Amboyna Burl two tone with sap wood set in Nickle Silver hardware. Grip is a mix of brown burl, Copano cork, Burnt cork and rubberized cork. Wraps are Cobalt blue (no CP) to match the new owners favorite blue/purple color with silver trim bands.

After test casting this one I have to say, it preforms much bettger than I had first expected. It does cast a 5wt line very well and will load with as little as 10' of line out from the tip. Quite a interesting little fishing tool.
