Another combo...chartreuse and black main. Simple with a little of flash.

New colors for my thread bin, something different.

I know, I know...what as I thinking? I superglued it in place because I knew it was coming out in favor of something else (and in this case the trout coins).

Latest of many. This one proved to be challenging because I had to faux finish the F.butt to match the AmTack Reelseat Insert Finish of "JadeWood".

Amboyna, RA8.5L2 Forecast Reelseat Skeleton, and the usual mix of Lamar Exotic Cork.
Forum: rodboard

Destined for a 6'6" Forecast 2Wt fly rod. Went with blue burl and brown. Grip oversized per client's choice. Inexpensive sliding rings from cortland.
Forum: rodboard

Decal area stripped of factory label, underwrapped with black thread and capped with garnet/Ht metallic theme. Client chose to go with a steelhead decal inbetween the book end wraps.
Forum: rodboard

Rebuilt a loomis rod for a client and we decided on new guides in the process. Titan/Recoil combo, garnet thread, HT metallic trimbands, and Forhan locking wraps. Simple and elegant.
Forum: rodboard

Constructed originally for my personal float rod project. I changed my mind, posted it for sale on a BB, and offered to lengthen it for the client.
Forum: rodboard

Built of a 6Wt Fly rod and client that preferred a smaller diameter cork. Andy's exotic Laguna and burnt.
Forum: rodboard

Reverse half wells mirrored on both sides of the reelseat. Andy's exotic, laguna, and burled cork. Rubber butt end shaped to fit motif.

Dan Craft Five Rivers FT1003-4 10' 3wt. 4pc. tied up as a small stream centrepin / float rod. Grip assembly completed, now for the guides!
Forum: rodboard

You can only imagine how much more comfortable it is to have a cork grip positioned directly over the spool of a centrepin when float fishing in 30 degree temperatures.
Forum: rodboard

Working on a complete rebuild on a Raven 13'6" 3PC IM6 production floatrod. I'm starting with the grip and working my way up. Upcoming photos will include the AmTak Titan - REC RSPG Recoil guideset with wraps. I'm going to attempt some silk underwraps with non-cp'ed overwraps for an iridescent effect...
