1wt FIBERGLASS fly rod

Once awhile a nice fly rod project will come around. This time a 1wt fiberglass fly rod in amber color.

REC down locking sliding band reel seat. A nice lil' reel seat for this lil' rod.



Extra grade cork rings, glued, stacked and lathed on the blank.



Test fitting the reel seat. The ID of the reel seat is actually smaller than the blank, I have to file it to fit the blank.



Then, the amber agate stripping guide goes on and so are the rest of the snake guides.



A view thru' the amber agates.



After the wrappings are epoxied.





and it is good to go...
