Thread: My first completed rod of 2014.

Hybrid View

    Default My first completed rod of 2014.

    Here is the first completed for for 2014.

    It's an 8ft 6in - 2pc/2tip. It should cast a 5 or 6wt line.

    It's been too nasty to get out and try a line on it. I'll tote it to work this week and see if I can get a decent afternoon to try it in the back yard.
    I built it for an old fishing buddy of mine. He picked out the silk colors, reel seat hardware, and grip style.











    Spring cannot come soon enough!

    Mighty purty - did you build the blank, or get it from someone?

    20 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains N.P. and lots of cool water fishing.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    I bought the blank and finished it. This one is for a fishing pal and I have the same taper that I am going to build for myself.

    Here are a few more:
