Hi there,
got my hands on that wee Trout Smith blank.
Decided to do a brown trout look as a companion to that little Abel TR reel on the pics.
Turned a nice shape into those portuguese cork and started to design that moving brown trout on it. Burned, colored and at least sealed with U40.
A Hawaiian curly koa was my choice for the spacer - truely a match with that Struble U20 hardware.
The agate from Struble and the snakeguides complete the story.
Wraps are made with Gossamer Silk.
Hope you like that little fun rod as much as I do.
Cheers
Jens
