This is a little Boo build for a friend, I will be delivering it to him to at McFarland's Coburn gathering today. This is a little 6' 4wt and very para. He wanted a ventilated grip and you can feel the cork flex easy in your hand.

thanks for looking
Bob

Very cool Bob!! I like it!

Wow!!!

Gorgeous, one of the best fly rod builders on this forum.

Very nice!

Wow Bob! Looks great!

No bamboo ferrule? I'm almost disappointed.
(Just kidding! Beautiful rod!)

Thanks Guys, Mike loved it and will probably be posting on it soon.

Thanks
Bob

I know this is not a rod for everyone but for me its one I have been wanting for a few years.
About a month ago I called Bob and said I am ready for you to build my rod, when can you start ?
To my surprise he said the blanks done. What grip do you want? and what color thread?
I was a bit worried and said what length is it ? hardware did you use? He answerd all my questions and said "Hey if its not what you want thats ok I can build you another "
It was exactly what I wanted,
I threw him a curve ball and asked him to do a ventilated grip. next day he sends a pic. I said perfect but he didnt like it and made a new one the next day.
This is the final result and I am amazed !
Yes, it casts as good as it looks........

Great work Bob! This is such a nice rod both aesthetically and performance wise. It was really cool to see how excited Mike was to receive it. I definitely need a hallowell bamboo rod.
