7'6" 1wt all done up. This one is for a customer that is putting an Abel reel with the brown trout colors on the reel so I did the wraps in a medium brown chestnut with gold accent wrap then 2 turns of metallic red so it matches his Abel reel.

Steve,

 

That is a winner thread and reel seat insert combo!

 

If it is a true 1 wt, the fanatics on UL Fly Fishing should be lining up for one.

 

And a four piece 7'6" blank too. Just over 2' disassembled. 'Poacher rod' dimensions.

I'm in love with this rod. Makes me want to buy an Abel brown trout anodized reel just to mount to one for myself. Never use it. Just to hang on the wall to admire it. No joke! Really, really nice color choice. Now off to Abel's web site. LOL..

I can only imagine how awesome this reel looks on that rod. A real conversation piece for sure. Be proud of that steeldrifter. MAN am I jealous. I break the tenth commandment every time I Iook at it..LOL.

yep nice color combo, it would look great with a Medalist on it, but I doubt I could throw a 1wt.
