Salvaged the blank from a 1940's South Bend fly rod. Everything else is new. Permagloss rod and wrap finish.

Nice work, George. What's the model number?

Thank you, Jim. It's a 359 that was 8'6", but is now 8'5". I buried the decal and the writing under the new grip, rather than extending the blank. It casts a 6wt very nicely out to about 40-45 feet, maybe a bit further, when I don't muff the timing.
