Last rod of the decade, this one is one of my best sellers, an 8’6” 3wt. 6” ritz grip, Lemke/LRC Garrison style cap and ring, with black ash insert, antique gold silk wraps, and light wire guides.

Very nice, I like the Black Ash with the Gold Thread on the clear blank.

Dusty,
Your 863 is my "go to" spring creek rod, like I've said before, after my first fish with the 863, I sold my Sage LL389 because the ********* rod preformed better.

Excellent, Sir! +1 on the wraps -- they look great on the white blank.

Saw this one up-close the other day...Just a beautiful rod with the perfect wrap color and gorgeous finish; I'll probably steal the color scheme for the 8' 5wt LRC I'm building for myself...

Beautiful Dusty. I'm planning a new "natural" Western 8' or (8' 3"- 8.5') rod. Your pictures give me ideas. Thanks.
