This fantastic blank is dedicated to "Tristan", the faithful dog of a my dear friend.

CTS Quartz 7'6'', 3wt
Reel seat made in Aniba rosaeodora, Sardinian cork grip top flor, blued brass hardware, all home-made - Universal Snake Brand guides and red agate stripping guide, all wrapped in gossamer silk and tipped in red.

Many Thanks for Watching,
Paolo

Lovely looking rod, I have a thing about olive blanks with olive whippings.

Are you sourcing these blanks in Europe or directly importing from New Zealand?

I just love the red agate stripping guide. Really nice combo with the olive of the blank.
