Rainshadow 6'6" 2wt

Recommended Posts

This one is for a customer that plans to stalk some smaller streams. Blank is a Rainshadow 6062-2 in Olympic green. Reel seat hardware with nickle silver BUL5, Insert is Ohio Buckeye burl which is by far one of my very favorite woods I think it is just beautiful with the contrasting colors in it. Grip is natural cork with spotted rubberized sliced in half to make 1/4" ends. Then some dark mic cork in the middle framed with some thin black foam. Guides are all REC Recoils and wraps are Classic twist green&black with gold trim. Owners name on top with a small JC feather inlay underneath it.

Really Sweet!!!!

Keep saying I will build a 6'-6", 2-3 wt. for myself but never seem to have time.

 

You should take the time....I love my 6' 2wt. It is the only rod I take to the local creeks.

Just a case of too many fish and too little time.

Live 6 miles from saltwater and about the same to freshwater spots here in Texas.

Work 4-10's and try to fish at least 2 of the 3 days off!

That leaves a little time for upkeep on boats, tackle and flytying.

Terrible I know, but somebody has to do it. :rolleyes:
