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

  

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.
