Sage ESN HD

Ending up the year with this sleek Sage ESN HD I recently finished for a good friend. Another year's gone by and life has gotten tougher than ever.

Building these Sage rods to "perfection" over the years has been a real challenge especially because of the long script area that they employ. Painstaking effort and lots of layers for that rod of a lifetime. This Sage rod is no different and an exquisite euro-nymph or dry fly rod. 

Two weeks in the making, this is one beautiful looking rod and an amazing fishing tool. Deep, dark red wraps with titanium signature wraps, light wire snake guides and ultralight Bellinger downlocking reel seat. Nice and comfortable snub-nose half wells flor grade grip and all new custom aluminum rod tube in black and clear anodized .

The quest for perfection, handcrafted fly rods continues. Thank you for your continued support in these hard times and wishing you a Happy New Year!

Hanak Superb 299

Another Hanak Superb 299 finished and a bit more color in this one. Burnt orange wraps with sunburn yellow accent wraps over light wire snake guides and light Fugi ceramic stripping guide. These H&H guides have proven to be the most durable over time and I use them alot on light weight blanks and not only. Shop turned zebra wood and epoxy coated, Struble U20 dark bronze hardware. Slick, comfortable snub-nose flor handle turned to perfection. Overall, great minimalist ultralight rod for euro-nymphing or dry fly fishing, with a bit more power for a 2wt. but very light, smooth and sensitive. Will do a few more for late spring deliveries so feel free to reserve one now. Thanks for looking!
