Whole lot's Rosie 10wt

[Midwest Custom Fly Rods]

A couple months ago I built "Bertha" for a customer which was a 9ft 8wt quikline blank rod, now meet Bertha's big sister "Rosie"...she's a full figured gal with a great personality

9ft 10wt 4pc Quikline blank, AW12 reel seat, brown burl/dark mix/rubberized turned grip & butt. Stripper is an REC recoil, then the guides are snake guides. Wraps are black and only has silver trim on the inscription area and fewrrules and no where else so she's very clean looking.

That is a serious looking fishing stick. Must be going after some sizeable fish. Nice hardward and handle, hard to see your workmanship on the guides

Yeah he is putting it to use casting BIG streamers on the shoreline of the Great Lakes here for Salmon and other large fish. It's a real cannon, probably one of the fastest action rods I have ever built.
