Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2016 Dubbed this one "Autumn Breeze". It's a 3wt for a customer that pretty much gave me free reign in design and just said he wanted something in fall colors. Nice dark seat to give the look of a tree then rust & garnet wraps with gold metallic spiral over wraps and some matching orange & red accents in the burl grip.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2016 Those dual color wraps with the gold spiral are beautiful. That might be one of the prettiest rods, yet, Steve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
