Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2006 This year I will be donating a custom built rod to the overall winner in the trout catagory of the FTOTY contest. The first poll I ran you guys decided on a Servier "Tiger eye" 7'6" 4wt blank for the rod. Now we need to decide on what color for the main wraps on this rod. Take into consideration the color of the reel seat I will be useing from this post http://www.flytyingforum.com/index.php?showtopic=17072 As well as the fact that the blank is a brown root beer color. Poll will close on friday at midnight so look over the colors and vote now. Here are the thread colors. Starting from the left to right it starts with Chestnut and ends with Rust Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted December 12, 2006 What I do is take the trout fly with the most overall votes out of the trout category winners and that fly will win the rod. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
