Multiple feathers from jungle cock.

Struble nickel silver slide band reel seat. Had client's initials engraved onto butt cap.

Made a custom rod for a client who gave the rod to his father who had been in the "Missleers" squadron of the USAF. Made a logo and applied it to the rod.

wrapped silver and green metallic thread around butt end of grip. Epoxied the grip to complete it.

Used yellow dyed grizzly feathers in opposite directions to make them look like thread wraps. Gold thread at each end.

Decorative band for measuring fish. Red, white, and black wraps for brook trout fins.

Combination of peacock, jungle cock, dyed grizzly feathers to make a feather inlay.

My client can either use the butt cap or the fighting butt on the rod. Interchangeable.

This is my personal 5 Wt St Croix SC-IV rod. I made a custom grip using green and natural cork. Turned on my custom built lathe.

I used green and black threads to jasper wrap the stripping guide. Black and one silver wrap outsides. This is an ATC matrix blank. The rod is beautiful. Casts like a dream.

I grooved the grip on the front and rear ends and wrapped with metallic silver and green thread. Filled in with U-40 epoxy.
