Here are a few shots of a 7/5 ft 3 pc 3/4 wt rod that I built from a Steffen S-Glass blank. The reel seat is from REC with a chestnut insert; the reel is my
Orvis Battenkill from the 1960s. The label is shown because of the wrapping; I wanted a spiral trim to give a retro feel. The stripper is a Mildrum guide
(the rest are Snake brand snakes) showing the wrap I used on all the guides; the ferrule wraps continue the retro feel with the spiral trim. I'm taking
this rod out tomorrow as the dry fly action is really HOT!
Looking forward to a fishing and casting report.
