I have just completed a rod for a customer in France. It is my standard build with a Powell-style flor grip, blued Snake Brand snakes, and Midrum Belmar-type carbide stripping guide. The reel seat is a dual sliding band with walnut burl spacer, oxidized to match the guides. The guide wraps are chocolate brown, to match the wood burl... The ferrule/accent wraps are olive YLI silk.
I am currently out of 804-4 blanks. If you are interested in 8'3" 4/5wt, I still have some blanks left.
Wow Vlad, you do beautiful work man!! This rod is stunning!!
