G.Loomis IMX. Complete.

 

Old Gary Loomis IMX. In progress.

Just received a good old Loomis IMX  in the mail from a dutch guy who has been admiring my work for some time.

This famous "vintage" graphite blank was wrapped in rusty red silk and fitted with classic components. Dark redwood insert and bright nickel hardware. A beautiful reversed half well grip to remind of the good old rods that were made in the past (Loomis IMX, Sage LL, etc).

Stay posted to see this classic graphite rod finished!

Swift Epic 580. Complete.

Truly epic fiberglass rod, personalised after the name of a norwegian client & friend. "The Rennestraum" means "The Runningstream". Unique colors and components on this very special rod. It was demanding work but pure joy to build this beauty.

I hope this will be THE rod for my friend in Norway.

Thanks for looking at my work and hope you will enjoy the photos.

  

Swift Epic 580. In progress.

Here is a very special Swift Epic project I started a few days ago.

This one was very long anticipated since a cool norwegian guy contacted me a few months ago saying some great words about my work. I am humbled and happy to have folks that truly apreciate the amount work I'm putting in building these rods. Makes my life easier and work more enjoyable.

Once it's finished, supposing that it will be an extremely beautiful rod, wich I hope it will, by my standards and of course by his, it will head to its new home in Norway where it will cast dries to wild browns.

I will review this orange beauty in the field myself this summer and hope to do some more cool photos in action with it.

Stay close for the finished rod soon!
