The GREEN glass

This green fiberglass rod project was 2 months behind schedule... LOL .
Not because I intentionally delay this build but I was sourcing for the green agate stripping guide.

The green acrylic insert for the fly reel seat just blend in nicely..

New Fiberglass Fly Rod Blanks


After testing a few prototypes of this newly tapered fiberglass, finally a new blank color was chosen.

This 6'6" 3 piece 3wt fiberglass blank is slightly faster than those conventional fiberglass blanks that I have used previously, thus this will provide a better controllability to the caster.

Translucent brown giving this blank a vintage "feel"




Test fitting the cork grip and up locking reel seat for up coming project.

FG 3wt series


Another FG 3wt series fiberglass fly rod that I built 2 weeks ago.

Double sliding band reel seat with more vintage 'feel' and smaller diameter cigar type cork grip.





Olive green thread wrapping with white marker line.
