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. Thanks for looking!

Thanks!

picketpin52, these are my Unstructured Fiberglass Series blanks, original progressive taper, last batch from 2015.

I've been working on some new things for 2018, but still early to make any announcements.
