Beautiful translucent blank of CTS' House, Shoot finish and black signature.
The rod was made for a talented young Fly Tyer, Matteo of "MMAF".
We chose together a simple and clean look, using the wonderful Tuscany olive woods and high quality components.
The Hardware have been completely realized by myself and blued in my lab, giving it a very aged look.
This rod has a pleasant and comfortable action, classic of the fiberglass but at the same time has a surprising rapidity.
It is perfect with a 2/3 line.

Olive wood spacer
Brass hardware (Bi-metal), (Leonard Style) Down Lock, with polished silver ring
Sardinian cork grip Top Flor
"Perfect" orange banded agate stripping guide
Universal "Snake Brand" guides
Hook keeper hand made by me
Teal gossamer silk wraps tipped in orange
Rod bug "Panama" hand made by me
Ber Rod tube in Plexiglass, caps in polished anticorodal
Ber Tube Bag is in grey pile with fastening elastic

(All hand made)

Many Thanks for Watching
Paolo

Very clever!

I think of myself as a bit of a classicist but I like this envelope pushing a lot!
