Just completed... This is an 8'6" 6wt streamer and sight-casting fiberglass rod. Medium-fast taper, S glass, 4-piece. Light in the hand, with excellent power in the butt. Downlocking saltwater aluminum body/composite hood seat, Struble rubber button, black EVA Wells grip and tiered check. Single foot TiCH guides and no-tangle TiCH strippers. Clover silk olive windings, tipped red at the handle and the tip. Ready for action, with that 1970s charm!

I have been working on two 6-footers recently. This is the first of the two builds, a 6' 3/4wt just completed on the imported 3pc blank. Pretty much a standard build, with ventilated 5.5" Ritz grip and a downlocking seat. The little rod has a quick, dry fly action.
