Prairie Drifter Rods 7'6'' 4wt Glass

Here is a rod I just completed for a client. 7’6’’ 3pce 4wt Glass rod. Solid white glass spigot ferrules. Cork reel seat w/ black hardware and cigar grip. Single foot guides w/ single foot stripping guide gold insert.Translucent sandstone wraps.


A few more



Wow that is really pretty. Are those the standard Lamiglass ferrules? Nice use of the stripping guide, it looks light.I hope you don’t take offense at some constructive criticism, I think it would look even nicer if you touched up the guide feet with black paint after grinding them.

I have tried touching up the feet,however every method I tried,the color ran.They are not standard ferrules.I have Lamiglas make me custom blanks. I cut and ferrule them myself

Dang thats a nice rod. Whats a rod like that go for, if you dont mind my asking?

2 piece is $200 3 piece is $250. Upgrades are availible(nickle silver/fancy wood reelseat,agate stripper, silk thread wraps)

What are your e-glass rods like? Some guys around here like the old 7’ 6" - 8’ glass eight weight rods for steelhead.

Greg,
They are a medium action black colored blank. I also cut and ferrule them myself.

Nice rod. I really like that reel seat. May I ask where you get the reel seat hardware (rings and butt cap)?

Thanks
Dave

Dave,
The hardware is from some discontinued Pac Bay seats.

Mike -

Really like what you did with that stick.

Another question - what kind of thread and finish did you use ??

John

Thread is Guedbrod “sandstone” size A. Finished w/ spar varnish

Mike,
I’ve seen your stuff before, but every time I see a new one I get envious. Nice fish stick my friend. I REALLY like your reel seat.

Joe,
Thanks, your last rod looked great also.
