BENT BUCKEYE BURL BROOKIE

43 copy.jpg
  • This three weight rod is based on the Devine Fairy taper giving a crisp high-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 beige through gold colors in this rod reflect a brookie or brown's beautiful coloration. Each reel seat butt and slide band I make is then a unique interpretation of a fishy pattern; no two are alike. 

  • This reel handle and winding check are hand-turned from Buckeye Burl. Notice a slight bend in the handle; this is an inheretent characteristic of Buckeye Burl drying over time. We embrace the slight imperfections that make this handle unique.  

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