Pauls Trout Rod

[unfrozen]

This is a St. Croix SCV, light, fast blank cut down from 6'6" to 6'2". It makes it easier to get around in the brush based on the streams where the customer likes to fish. The grips are butternut and the guides are American Tackles Microwave spinning guides.

Nice work Chad. What kind of reel seat did you put on this rod?

The customer found it on that famous auction site so I bought it off there. He liked the carbon look of it.

That works for me.

Nice touch with the worm holes Chad.

A few years back a fella brought me some ash he reclaimed from a Wisconsin barn erected in the 1880,s. He pulled the blacksmith nails and wanted me to expose the nail holes in a handle for his fishing rod. It took several attempts but he was finally satisfied with what turned out.

Your a master Chad. Always enjoy seeing your creations.

Back up your pictures fellas. I've lost countless pictures by not backing them up and only storing on the computer.

Thanks for the kind words.

I really liked using the wood with the worm holes.

You're right on about backing up your images. I'm an IT guy and I back up everything weekly plus monthly back ups that I store offsite.

Awesome looking rod Chad. As always, a great custom design.
