I'm workin' on another 9' fast action 4 piece fly rod - a 3 weight - The Brookie. Here's a preview of the new tool outfitted with a Lamson Guru III 1.5. The blank is a Rainshadow Revelation in charcoal and I'm reprising use of the keen REC nickel reel seat, but this time with a matching California Buckeye Burl insert. It's all beige, charcoal and chrome/silver. The "disturbed spiral" custom grip on this rod was turned down today after much sectioning and strategic gluing of burnt and natural cork. Yeah, I'm sporting the brand t-shirt and some new ('cept for the lenses) Costas ~ my Mantras finally started deteriorating and I had to repurpose the 'scrip lenses into a new pair. Timing was key as Mantras have recently been discontinued; the only frame I could score was black. NP - better than buying a new shape and paying more.
