Figured I would keep this one...Inspired by the old CB&Q railroad's "Indian red" and bronze green paint scheme for their depots, this has Dark Nickel Snake guides and Dark Nickel Struble tropical sunset agate stripping guide wrapped in cherry red silk with green inlay and a Struble U20 Dark Earth seat and vermillion insert...Think I'll keep this one.

Man O Man is that rod purdy! I really like the darker metalwork and the accent threads in the wrapps.

Classy looking small stream rod

Ultra Select work for a Historic Classic … I beg your indulgence though to please “Never” simulate any of the newer MBTA railroad depots up Boston Way , somehow jet black with a purple stripe doesn’t seem worthy of such fine work ? Stellar as always Steve !

Wow
That’s a beautiful rod.
Red is my favorite color and I love the grip and reel seat too.
Bravo to you good sir..
