The tapers are not new, but I decided to do a limited run of The Natural tapers and dye them brown for the folks that prefer brown rods over the straw color I typically use. I only dyed four of the blanks in brown. (2) 8'3" 3wt's and (2) 8'4" 4wt's.

I will update the instock list on my website to include these blanks.

These look great. I was able to cast one of the 8'4 4 weight naturals at a clave and it was a wonderful caster.

Those are beautiful! I am admittedly a "brown" kinda guy so they get my vote.
They look to me like Morgans.

Because we all know that "fly rods should be brown, dammit".

Sorry, couldn't resist.

But seriously, those are really nice looking blanks, Shane.
