Here is a bit of spring feeling, color wise, until we wait for the new season to start over here in europe…

If you are looking for a deep loading, sensitive but powerfull taper, you will somehow strive tomo ijuin‘s sakura or yomigi blanks… this time i was asked for a straight forward build with only minor distraction from the blank color.

I build this 703 sakura model with lemke ns seat hardware, a dyed and shopturned maple burl insert, shopturned ns ferulle rings and snakebrand guides. wrapping and tipping with kimono silk … Stripping guide is from struble with aquamarine color catching tipping and the reelseat.

As an absolute 3wt geek, i must say this rod stands out of most of of my other 3wts… its a joy to cast!

here are some impressions. thx for looking

Beautiful work! Your guide wraps are superb, especially the wraps on the stripping guide.

Hey Marc,

the (last) photography of the composition of the perfectly clear wrapped agate stripper on a sakura blank next to this cherry petal is a work of art. Keep on doing this and one day edit all as/in a book. Needless to say that I will buy one of the first edition.

Tight lines for 2023

Regards
D.
