This rod was a custom build for a gentleman in Otsego, MN - The rod is an EPIC Olive 476 7'6" 4wt 4pc "FastGlass II". The reel seat is a Lemke original, Dk. Nickel plated aluminum enhanced with a piece of stabilized Figured Maple. The grip is 6½" cork in the "Full Wells" style that was duplicated to match a grip on one of his other fly rods. The guides are Dk. Nickel Snake Brand snake guides with a 12mm ceramic stripping guide. The customer requested the guide wraps to be "invisible" with no tipings or trim bands.
The thread wraps are silk with epoxy coating.
