Rod# N - 431606
I have not updated in a while. Been keeping busy though. This rod will be for sale after it is wrapped and varnished. It is another rod based on a Payne 98. Again a 7' for a Four line. It is a Two piece Two tip rod. Node-less construction with blonde and light flamed alternating strips. This rod will have Hariki extra short size 12/64th step down ferrules. My new style 5 1/2" grip. A shop made winding check and also My new up locking reel seat design shown in the photos below.
The reel seat is made up of Spanish Cedar with a slice of Pheasant Wood. It has not been buffed and polished out yet. Looks a little dull here. It will all come together though.

Here is the 7' for a Four Line after final dipping. This is a dark flamed node-less rod. Two piece with one tip. This rod was flamed darker than the customer liked, so........
I need a replacement for a shop rod that I turned into kindle when I slammed it under the folding seats of My Jeep.
