This was two rods that came for repairs. I worked on rods for this guy before and he loves those handles. We have both G.Loomis rods-1 is a IMX-9wt and the other is GLX 3wt. Took of the original grips and remounted the seats with the grips. We put on a few slash marks for lengths of fish in the field. The 9wt was showing it's age on the guides, so we replaced them.








This is a 6'6" med-hvy casting rod with batson seat, no foregrip, new hook keep, alconite guides and micros for running guides. Seems a lot of people enjoy that black and silver accent.

Here is another fly rod that was built for the neighbor of the first guy. Showing him the materials alongside of the blank





And a few pics of the finished work before I sent it last week.






I have a few others on the dryer right now but I'm waiting for the shop area to get warmer. My lines on the finished guides are not what I want to see.
