Here is a special Kabuto brown 703 finished a while ago for a friend. Appointed in honey-brown accents, bright hardware and a custom reel seat from Nico at Yamame fly rods with a gorgeous zebrano wood insert. Matching agate guide in honey brown and a gorgeous hand crafted leather case. I believe this model is discontinued now but there are some newer models available from Kabuto rods in Japan. I have another project in the new blonde color coming soon. Thanks for looking!

Ultralight glass
Unique little S-glass rod finished this year in 6'6" 2wt. Minimally appointed in a sparse style, with clear silk wraps tipped in blood red silk. Scaled down guide scheme, Joe Arguello 8mm agatine stripping guide and a classic cap&ring brushed aluminum Garrison cork reel seat and matching winding check. Mini snub-nose modified wells flor grade grip. The rod has a snappy med-fast action with a finesse tip for lightest tippets. The perfect little rod for small bluelines. The rod comes in a beautiful leather case. This rod is available ($495 shipped). Thanks for looking!

McFarland Emerger
It's been some time since I last posted a rod but here is a special one finished early this summer. A custom McFarland Emerger 8'3" 3/4wt. in classic style and understated appointments. Grey-olive color scheme all the way including a custom tube in light grey anodized finish. Very smooth casting rod similar to a TMF. These beauties are only available on special order. Thanks for looking!

"Legacy " Trout LL
Classic meets modern. A Trout LL 389 finished in a "legacy" old Sage style reminiscent of the timeless LL-RPL series of the 90's, with a few modern elements. Elegant chestnut wraps, Oregon walnut wood insert and golden hardware, custom painted rod tube with gold ends. This is another timeless Sage rod built close to perfection. Amazing tip sensitivity, most ideal for technical fishing and more skilled fishermen. Might just be too beautiful to fish.. Thanks for looking! #perfectionflyrod
