    Default Another Switch Rod

    Here's another switch rod I just finished. This is a Batson 7wt switch and has the batson grips on it. Colors are a little wild on this one. Definitely more wild that what I put on my own rods but this is what the owner wanted. The colors have grown on me and I actually really like it now. Feather inlay was inspired by kbproctors nice saltwater rod he posted. I added a couple more grizzly hackles off the side that wrap around toward the back of the rod.









    Thanks for looking.

    Very very nice. I'm really starting to like the way metallic thread looks under a good finish.
    Where you go is less important than how you take the steps.

    I'm not one for wild colors on my own personal rods either but the contrasting blues really look good though, it works well together.
