-Modified Welles cork grip. I find this shape to be much more comfortable on longer, mid-weight rods while also allowing for more line control.
-Nickel Silver reel seat hardware with a gorgeous flamed Redwood spacer. The detailed grain of the Redwood seems to take on different characteristics in different lighting. The down-locking, screw lock reel seat helps to balance out the rod & keep the reel securely in place. The metal features very fine rope braid details.
-Blued, or darkened, Nickel-Silver winding check in front of grip.
-Blued, Nickel-Silver “strap & ring” style hook keeper.
-Real stone agate stripping guide in a Nickel-Silver bezel that has been blued by hand. The dark red striated stone was chosen to match the color of the wraps.
-Black line guides & tip top.
-Burgundy silk thread wraps throughout the rod & coated in a true varnish, just like a fine bamboo rod.
-Custom fit black cotton flannel rod bag with matching burgundy decorative stitches.
-Black powder-coated aluminum rod tube with real brass end caps.
If you have any question at all about this rod, please contact me & I'll be happy to help you.
