  • This four weight rod is based on the Powell 7642 taper giving a fast action well suited for roll casts and close in dry fly work and throws a tight loop when paired with a 406 DT-5-F Fly Line. 

  • Reel seat butts and slide bands are enameled with fused powdered glass. Enameling insures ultimate protection from harsh elements like moisture and UV light. The subtle enamel yellow/blue with red dots reflect a Brookie or Brownie's beautiful coloration. Each reel seat and slide band I make are then a unique interpretation of a fishy pattern; no two are alike. 

  • This reel handle and winding check are hand-turned from Padauk. 

  • The rod grip is turned from stacked cork rings. This grip is also fitted with a layer of rattan to give a litle more weight to the rod.

I am now offering four and five weight rods for a moderate price. I would suggest we do a meet and greet for you to cast a rod and discuss options. 

I have a ton of material resources having got this far down the rabbit hole.
