Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2020 Latest out of the shop. This customer wanted a classic/classy looking build on his 10' 3wt so did this one with a very clean subtle look for the wraps and grip. Also has four measuring marks in front of grip from 18"-24" range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2020 I like those measuring marks. Did you just wrap the lines or did you paint numbers on there, too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2020 Since I'm mostly catching Florida Bluegill and other Sunfishes ... those measuring marks would have to be between the third and forth guides, or so. 😀 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did that with my very first fly rod, an old fiberglass Shakespeare WonderRod. I wrapped red sewing thread, and covered them with clear nail polish. I thought I was a genius doing that at about 8 years old. They were more like 6", 9", and 12" though. 😉 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
