Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2014 This is the first of a trio of new rods for a customer. This one is a 8'6" 3wt 2pc with custom grip and hand turned seat set in nickle silver hardware. Wraps are garnet without CP with silver inner trim and red outer and overwraps.

FlaFly 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2014 I love everything about it! I can't justify another rod (can only use one at a time anyway), but I've long wished I could get a 3 wt and that one is perfect in every way. I wouldn't even mind if someone else's name was on it :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ditz2 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2014 FlaFly you owe yourself a 3wt for those Fla. Gills. You will love it. The rod is longer than I prefer but if you like long rods you will wished you had done it a long time ago. You might also think about one of Steve's light glass rods. I am trying to convince myself to order one myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlaFly 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2014 re: to Ditz Aha! You're convinced about what I should do, but have doubts about yourself. This is the time of year that I buy for other people, and I'm sure my wife doesn't want a fly rod. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2014 FlaFly keep and eye on the board trading floor after the new year is over. I have a couple shorter 3wt blanks around 7'6" that I plan to build and offer at a good price here to FTF members but I plan to wait till probably January to do so because I know with Christmas it's a hard time of the year to spend money on oneself.

Saltybum 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2014 Love that very subtle red on red Steve. Always works of art and inspiration for us amateur builders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
