Awhile ago I made a post asking for assistance with my first fly rod build.
[www.rodbuilding.org]

Thanks to all of you I have finally completed the build. I could not have been successful without the input from this amazing community!

It is a NFC IG 805-4 in natural color. I used REC titanium guides. The handle is a Soft Touch full wells with an American Tackle Infinity Window reel seat.

Aaron,

Rod looks amazing. What color/brand of threads did you use? I really like that combo with the blank. Thanks for posting the pictures.
