Hi there,

just finished that custom build.

After building up Dusty‘s #3 blank some months ago (it is shown here in the forum as well) I just couldn’t resist and was after the #4 blank.
Needed some time to think about the style and soul I wanted to give that rod.
The result was: Brown Trout ;-)
But see the pics…
Here the facts:

Blank: ********* YS 9‘ #4 3-piece
Reel seat: dark nickel hardware with an insert out of black and white ebony wood
Grip: custom burnt and colored brown trout on cork
Wrapping: black with gunsmoke metallic trims
Guides: 11+1 Snake Brand // Struble agate starter

Hope you like that build ;-)

Cheers Jens

Sweet build. Beautiful wood insert and hardware. Is the reel seat hardware your own making? Agate stripper ties it all together nicely.
