I just completed my latest build, The "Antiquary Edition" 835-4 (#4/5). The rod has some special touches.

The "Antiquary Edition" features hand stripped, polished and patinated brass reel seat (NOS US made), a German agate guide oxidized to match the seat, blued Snake Brand guides, Powell-style grip (flor 1/4" rings), and caramel YLI silk guide wraps with subdued details. A custom made rod sock and aluminum rod tube are included.

There are more rod pics in my Rod Catalog. The rod is available for sale.

Thanks for looking!

I have that taper from Vlad, I acquired it in 2015, and it is an exceptionally nice rod indeed. Especially with a Terenzio DT 4.5wt. Certainly a pleasant rod for a day on trouty waters.

Thanks again for the comments guys. Indeed, out of the three trout tapers I offered since 2014, this taper is my favorite rod to fish and gets the most use.
