mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2019 They're from Steve. We'll, likely, just have to wait until Steve posts pictures of them. You'll be highly pleased, Mark, I am sure. I'm up to 3 from Steve and elated with every one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2019 OK, they are matched 9' rods, a 6 wt. and an 8 wt., four piece rods (for going in bush planes) for big trout, salmon and big pike. I sent him the link to this blog http://akflytyer.blogspot.com/2013/ to show him the kind of fishing I would be doing with them and he pretty well knew what I wanted. He made some recommendations and we are going with them. It's really easy to get a custom rod, not at all like a custom knife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicente 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2019 I'll be getting a 6wt from Steve soon, my last one had blue in it, maybe I'll jump on board with this no blue theme. Mark I had Steve put an Alps triangle reel seat on my 8wt I highly recommend them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyme Fisher 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2019 I am leaning toward brown, orange and gold. Good luck. I must've changed my mind a dozen times. At the end, I pretty much said "Do whatever you think will look best", and put it in Steve's hands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2020 We're picking colors right now. I told Steve I like brown, orange and gold, he's going to surprise me with the results. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
