Beach Bum Steampunkers
I am done with all my current graphite projects, and this is the last pair of my saltwater 9wt and 10wt. Very light, great casting rods. Also, I have just finished another Old Empire Glass 3wt which will be photographed and put up for sale shortly. Stay tuned and check back in a day or two...
