Some time ago I finished this Tom Morgan rod.
The hardware is polished aluminium, the butt is softly brushed. The insert is made of Japanese Camphor burl and the cigar cork grip is made of flor grade and all of it is turned in house.
The Joe Arguello stripping guide and the Original Snake Brand guides are wrapped with YLI Green Grass colour silk.
The rod is shipped to the UK with a green Approach Genesis reel with a nice a 406 fly line.
Recently finished The Pure 7’2” 5wt rod with my 5th Anniversary reel. Butt is made of the same bakelite as the reel what is made by the great reel maker Mitsuru Ishii from Japan. Top flor grip, reel seat and hardware inspired by an old Garcia Conolon fly rod. The lite Snake Brand guides and stripping guide of Joe Arguello are wrapped with silk of Au Ver a Soie. This set is heading out now to a very nice fisherman in the US.
Happy to reveal the first collaboration of my 5th Ann as a professional rod builder.And more to come. Mitsuru Ishii from Japan made these 3 handmade reels especially for me. Aluminium with orange bakelite and brass. Put the same bakelite as a butt on my hardware to get the ultimate combi
