I put this rod together using spare parts . The reel seat is off a old H&I bamboo I cleaned it up and fell in love with the look . The grips started life out as a inletted full wells and wasn’t the best quality so I cut the inlet off and turned it down to a western . The blank is a generic import 7’ 3wt that I had sitting around . The guides are rec single foot that got ordered wrong . This going to be a rod to keep in my truck/family camp . Thanks for looking

Two thumbs up! I like repurposed stuff. It always has cool stories attached.
