Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 Latest out of the shop this morning, an 11ft 4wt IM8 graphite for a customer that wanted a rod he could pass down to his Nephews some day. Nice wood seat with nickle silver hardware, burl grip fully coated and polished, metallic silver main wraps with antique gold trim to pick up the wood seat colors.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 No, Vicente. I "like" the rod. I can do that with non-blue (I shuddered a little, there) threads and such. I LOVE the grip. Nice contrast, dark and coated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
