Wrapping Rod N-431608

Wrapping Another 7' 2/2 Four Weight

Here is another 7' 2/2 Four weight getting wrapped.. This rod is Node-less. The only color in the cane is from the two step heat treatment in the oven. The person that this rod is being built for wanted some color in the signature wrap. I wasn't sure at first how these colors would mesh before I varnished them. I think it worked out pretty well though.

I have fished My Node - less Five weight for Smallmouth that measured in pounds not inches with poppers just to put it to the test. No problems and no failure.

Line it up and cast it. If there is anything at all you don't like about the rod. Return it in the same condition that you received it for a full refund less shipping.

There are no shortcuts to My rod building. I put a lot of hard work, heart and soul into them. They are made to be fished. 

Thank You for taking time to look.

Any specs you see in the photos are bamboo dust. Thought the bamboo curls would be a nice touch to the photos. Won't do that again.
