Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 Another glass rod just out of the shop. This one is a 8ft 5wt 3pc spigot ferule with rosewood seat, brown burl grip, Gudebrod Rust colored thread and black trim on double foot guides. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 Another "classic" looking rod. Now that you've built a couple, have you compared one to a similar sized "Modern" material rod? How much is the weight difference? Does the new fiberglass feel like the "old" fiberglass of yester-rods? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 Feels like the old glass rods only with a tad faster action and lighter weight Mike. The tip on old glass rods use to bounce a lot, these new ones have the nice smooth moderate action but the tip recovers a lot quicker without the old buggy whip bounce of yesterdays glass rods.

Brian Myers 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 That's a beautiful rod , only thing that would make it even nicer is if it was a 7 wt. then add a box of flies , WF7F line/ reel and a stream full of smallies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocco 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2014 STEVE, Â That is one classy looking rod. It would be my choice for my 6' 6'' 3 piece model. Could you add the rod weight and length specs to the logo? Â Rocco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
