Both nice, clean looking builds Bob. I like the seat hardware on the 4 wt.

Stunning, Very nice work on the reel seat hardware. I like the finish on it. Very classy.

They both look perfect to me! I really like how the sliding ring can slide up and onto the cork check. Gives a little more room for the reel feet when mounting the reel. Great attention to detail! Cosmetically they are both awesome as well. Clean, classic style. Once you friend has a chance to see these beauties in hand and fish them hard for a bit, I will make sure he posts his experience reviews. As wonder as these builds are, I suspect that the action on these McFarland blanks are going to also be pretty spectacular and a great casting and fishing fit for their intended species and environments. You are truly a great rodsmith and friend Bob!

Outstanding! really like the blank color of the 8'3!

Great work Bob!

Both are real nice, excellent work!

I really like the teal wraps on the white blank.

As usual just plain beautiful!

Very nice Bob..........Aurelio

Those are really nice builds there Bob. I particularly like the detailed work you did on the insert with the mortising to get a good fit with the cap and ring set up.

Both are stunning indeed!

Nice!
