Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2018 This complete custom IM8 10wt Package Musky rod for a customer in Minnesota for throwing giant flies for huge fish. Topped the custom rod off with a custom sock and O-ring sealed tube. Rod has brown wraps with bright metallic copper trim, burl mix grip & extended butt for figure 8'ing by the side of the boat. Dual strippes/snake guides and a carbon fiber reel seat top it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2018 It would probably be down around 5.6 or there abouts with all natural cork. Burl cork is slightly heavier, but it is more durable (and looks nice) so the slight 1/4 oz is worth it IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
