This rod is a rod a group of guys that went in on it together as a "thank you" to their Lawyer friend for the use of his cabin. I was pretty much given free artistic design and just told it should be a 5wt and they'd like the "Scales of justice" incorporated into the build some where. They should have known better than to give me free reign to do what I want hehe. Blank is a Amtack 9' 5wt 2pc Matte black blank. The reel seat & butt are some pretty heavily burled maple with some birds eye in them. Seat hardware is BUL5 Nickle Silver hardware and grip is rev half wells. Wraps are Brown/Black Classic twist, with antique gold trim and multiple single turn metallic silver trim. Added some inscriptions over about a 6" long base layer of black thread and a few other details as well such as some Jungle cock feather inlays and Diamond II finish over the seat insert.
