ÜberFly Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 So a few year's ago I had a custom rod built for my 40th. Since then, it's become Deb's favorite rod for smaller rivers like the Oldman and I haven't been able to use it... So for her birthday this year (I won't disclose what number birthday, but I'm sure you can deduce that for yourselves) I decided to get the same rod built for her (although they no longer make that paticular blank in a 5 piece, it's only available in a 6). The blank is a Dancraft 8' 3 wt FLT. I'm quite please with the result, and I'm sure she will be as well!! She'll be receiving it this weekend even though her birthday isn't until October ... Oh and of course I had to get a new one built for myself at the same time (she'll definitely shake her head at that! Mine is a 9' 4 wt 6 piece)! LoL Thanks so much Colin (CDone), AWESOME builds! P P.S. This particular colour was chosen because it matches the detail on both her wading boots and rain shell!! His and Hers rods Detail of the reel seat and insert Grip detail Wrap detail Feather inlay detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
