    Diamond polished Ti blue zirconia fly guides all the way out give it a smoothness and lightweight feel that you have to feel to believe. It’s a cannon.

    Nice rod Mike,

    I don’t know if I have the attention to detail and patience required to build one myself. How many hours would you estimate you put into it?

    Thanks!
    Hey Steve I’m in the Boro. Zach you might not want to cast this one ;).

    Ian if you can tie flies you can build a rod. It isn’t hard at all and the savings will pay for the equipment pretty quickly. I have around 12 hours in this one.

    I like the matching blue reel seat.

    Mike A…sweet looking rod…and that reel seat just seals the deal.

    I have a black Ross Evo and a Lamson LS in silver that plan to use with it. I originally intended to put my blue Ross Evo on it but the colors don’t come close to matching. I really want one of these though…

    This is going to be mostly used for casting shooting heads on Trout but since Striper also inhabit the river it is possible. It almost seems a waste to cast shooting heads on this rod now that I think about it.
