As we approach the Christmas holiday I look forward to a little more time in the shop. This fall I have focused my free time on perfecting a 3 piece rod to the inventory. I had made some prototypes last spring and made the appropriate changes. I am focusing on using Japanese extra short ferrules on these with the ultimate outcome of rods on the lightweight side of exciting. The 8' 4 weight 3 piece weighs right at 3.3 oz and is medium fast. When developing these rods I wanted them to be a all around travel rod that someone could use on most streams.

My current wait time is about one year.
