"Antiquary Edition" Unstructured Fiberglass 835-4 (#4/5)

Written by flyfishingunlimited on 10:21 AM in 2015 models, Agate Guides, Antiquary Edition, Reel Seats, Unstructured Glass with No comments

This is my latest build which rounds up the original Unstructured Fiberglass batch of blanks, made to my specifications. Out of the three tapers I offered in the past, this is my favorite taper to fish - a true allaround trout rod, which feels light and crisp with a 4wt line. If you like deeper, semi-para feel, you can use a 5wt line on it.

The "Antiquary Edition" features hand stripped, polished and patinated brass reel seat (NOS US made), a German agate guide oxidized to match the seat, blued Snake Brand guides, Powell-style grip (flor 1/4" rings), and caramel YLI silk guide wraps with subdued details. A custom made rod sock and aluminum rod tube are included. The rod is available for sale.

"The French Edition" Unstructured Glass 804-4

Written by flyfishingunlimited on 8:29 PM in 2015 models, Unstructured Glass with 1 comment

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.

I have just completed a build on one of the blanks from the 2015 batch, which I put away for personal use (I realized I had an extra blank.) The rod has a fishtail grip with a slender nose, home-made, oil finished orange micarta reel seat insert, blued Garrison-style hardware and guides, rust guide wraps, and clear ferrule wraps with single black trim at the cork check. The custom rod sock is made (as always) by my better half.

I tried taking pictures under changing light... The rod is available for sale (just scroll below or click on Available Rods button on the top.)
