I picked this Paddock blank up, one of Fred's first offerings. Blank was rolled by CTS to his specifications. Something to add into my personal collection.

A while back Fred had given me a few pieces of Karelian Birch, so only fitting that I used one of them on his blank. Lemke GS-1, Full Wells Grip, Struble Agate, Snake Brand Originals. Wrapped with Gudebrod Nylon Garnet (nothing wraps and finishes like Gudebrod) then trimmed with some Fish Hawk Red Metallic.

Thanks for checking it out.

If anyone has ever seen the work that Bill (wjude) does, you know that his rods look even better in person! Another nice blend of components on a great blank.
