10'8" 7wt 4pc Switch rod

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Well being a nice guy bite me in the ass so now I have a yet unbuilt switch rod that will be for sale that I need to move BEFORE Christmas. Long story short I almost never order parts for a customer build till I have deposit in hand, yet about a month ago I had someone that I talked to a number of times that seemed trust worthy and he didn't have the deposit at the time we were talking so trying to be a nice guy I went ahead and ordered the blank/grips/etc for his rod and told him he could pay me in a couple weeks. Long story short- now he won't even return my emails since I've had the parts for a couple weeks now so now I'm stuck with being out the money for these parts right here before Christmas which is not a good thing for me. So I need to sell this rod before Christmas to recover some Christmas shopping money for the niece&nephew.

This rod is not built yet, I have a number of customer rods I'm finishing this week so I will be building this switch rod probably next week. So what that means is you can pick the colors for it that you want if you get ahold of me before next week. Once its built then it will be put on ebay because as I said I need to recover the money for it before Christmas.

The blank is a 10'8" 7wt 4pc Rainshadow, grips are two tone Batson with dual hand placement and rubberized cork. Grips are just like this below-



Price - $200 firm which honestly barely even covers the parts and shipping that I have into it but as I said I'm just tryin to recover my investment since I got screwed over.

If nobody else wanted it I would have bought it to have a matching set. It's a beauty.
