Hi All,
It is been a while that I post some rods, but too less time and busy in the shop kept me away.

I recently finished this McFarland Spruce Creek 8' 5wt rod what is fully inspired by a vintage Scott rod in a bit more modern and cleaner look.
Top flor cork, gold anodized aluminium with a POM butt. Struble stripping guide and Snake Brand light wire guides are wrapped with Au Ver a Soie silk.


Hope you like it.

Nico

Nico - Very nice! It brings back memories of a rod I built about 10 years ago

Did you make the reel seat hardware? I love the classic look.
