Hello
I recently decided that I would build up the last of the Wuff blanks I had in stock.
I have finished a few for myself in the past and ended up letting them go.
So these last 2 will be not going anywhere so please don't ask !
The rod on top is my wife Janet's it features a red maple burl inserted up lock reel seat and fighting butt, the stripper is ceramic inserted with thin wire over sized snakes and tip top,the grip was sized and made to my wifes measurements, I did a decorative wrap above the hook keeper as per my wifes request as well.the thread is nylon maroon and black jaspers size A from Rice , the rod was scripted "Lady Fisher"
The rod on the Bottom is Mine The rod features My Infused Flex Enhancement, A custom made or configured Nickel Silver down lock reel seat with cork insert and butt and Engraved N.S. Butt cap,The grip is an original Wulff Quad shaped grip that I extended and contoured to match the original. The Stripping guide is carbide inserted the snakes are the same thin wire oversize guides I used on Janet's rod ,The tread is the same thread I have been building the Sceptre series rod with size A Med brown.
I added Violet intermediate wraps in 2 inch increments as I like to know the size of the fish before I release them from 10" just above the hook keeper to 24 " at the stripping guide.
Diamondite thread finish was used on both rods.
Both rods were clear coated with U 40 Permagloss rod finish by air brush.
My rod is engraved Wulff 6' 4- 7 line. 2.2 OZ , the script is just my signature along with the date.
These last two Wulff replica's are the final result of a labor of love.
