just a spinning rod
My adopted boy was getting but hurt cause I did not build him a rod. He wanted something in a ultra light and very basic cause he was going to use the daylights out of it. Gave it a little thought and ordered a Tiger Eye blank with gold guides and reel seat. Just to fancy it up a little I wrapped with white thread and no cp. this is the end result
the rod will make a good one for the streams and lakes we fish. Can't wait to see him hook one of them 20+ inch browns on it.
I'm sure he's gonna be very happy with it. Nice work
HB A work of perfection as always! I am sure he will think of you as he uses it. good job papa!

I'm jealous of your son. Where did you buy the blank? Please PM it to me. Thanks
Very nice looking rod Harley. John
I wish you all everlasting flies and tight lines.
Neal's, Black Dog, Dan Craft and others carry Sevier blanks.
Just a spinning rod, I don't think so..
Very well done!

Thank you all for the kind words. It is just a spinning rod in ultra light and very very basic. The boy will come off the road next may and use it for some of our little trout (16-26"). It wanted to use it this time but did not have time. He is complimenting it with a pflueger president ultra light spinning reel. He has never fished with a ultra light so I will definatley get a laugh or two when he hooks into a fish. His idea of ultra light is 20lb test line on a heavy rod.
Lest i forget I believe Steve at Midwest Custom Fly Rods carries Tiger Eye blanks as well.
