Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2019 Off the bench this morning is this very clean looking 10' 3wt euro rod. The new owner wanted a very clean look and he likes the look of Winston rods so we went with a dark green wrap without trim bands which gives it a very crisp clean look.

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2019 Do you even have to ask? lol I do everything on my rods, except for some wood reel seat inserts. Don't have a lathe that can handle hardwood so those I farm out, but everything else is me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2019 Ah ... I knew it was something you had made for you. I also knew you made grips. What I couldn't remember, was if you made ALL of the grips you put on your fly rods. Well, again, the grips you've been doing lately are truly great looking combinations of materials.

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2019 Yep I make them all. I haven't bought a preformed grip in probably 15 yrs now. To me the grip is the focal point of a rod so I like to make them a bit special looking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
