Photo Details
mark blabaum Registered: June 2006 Location: Southwest - Wisconsin Posts: 1,282	My son has wanted a fly rod and I promised him one for the last 2 years. I finally got his finished, it's a St. Croix 4wt 8'6". The grip is stabilized spalted maple (from Reelseatblanks.com) with a phelonic elliptical, the reel seat is a Struble downlocking with a pen blank insert from woodcraft. It should be 100% water proof and on time for his 16th birthday.
