I am working on a special project Unstructured Glass rod build after a long time. The Garrison-style handle and reel seat were completed last night. The pics of the finished rod coming up soon!

Graphite 7'10" 6wt (Streamers and Sight-Casting)
The latest build: a shorter 6wt (7'10", 4pc) fly rod, built on a Diamondback graphite blank. I like a 6wt for my local flats fishing. This is a quick rod which loads easy for short and precise casts.

Refurbishing the "Pink Panther" 868-4 from 2011
This rod has been one of my favorite rods, built back in August 2011. I caught some very nice striped bass on it. It needed its single foot guides replaced. The Fuji strippers were OK and also the tip top, so I left those unchanged, but rewrapped them. I put Pac Bay Minima single foots, so hopefully they can last another ten years or so...
