Glass Rod small.jpg

It was my first project rod, built off of a Lamiglass Firecane, 7 foot, 3weight, 2-piece blank. I found a full-wells grip that was slimmer and smaller than any other they had, and the accouterments to complete the build at a total of $150. Short of one item I failed to purchase...a hook keeper. Which would later nearly ruin things. It was wrapped by hand using a shoebox notched for a jig, and although the finish on my wraps were not perfect...it was mine. I dressed it up with a Ross Colorado #0 and a Cortland 444 Peach Double-taper 3Wt line. The result? Pure Nirvana! I felt I had found my small stream trout rod. I had no idea how right I was.
