This rod was just completed for the board member... The build features bronzed NS/tiger maple cap and ring seat, blued Snake Brand Universal guides with the matching blued yellow agate stripper, all wrapped in golden-olive silk. Signature wrap, stripper inlays and the tip-top wraps are sunburst thread, while the ferrule wraps are done in transparent silk, so that white aligning marks are not obscured. Garrison-inspired 6" flor cork grip. Aluminum rod tube and custom tailored rod cloth round out the package.

Thanks for looking!

Nice Vlad. The reel seat, agate and trim really set the blank off well.

Elegant. Tasteful.

The photos aren't horrible, either.

Thanks again for the nice comments. Been away from the board for a few days, chasing pelagics from shore... Yesterday was a good day.

Musicar, your rod's colours are warm and smooth. As "autumn leaves" performed by the Modern Jazz Quartet.

Such a a beauty!
