Item Description
This stunning custom-built rod was created especially for the CFR Holiday Auction 2012 by rodmaker Dennis Harper of Harper Custom Rods. It is a medium-fast action, 8'0", 6 piece, 3-weight fly rod. The lightweight blank is a Five Rivers FTL made from 57 million modulus graphite which is very sensitive, easy to cast, and is great for those delicate presentations, yet powerful enough for indicator nymph rigs.
The components, selected to maximize rod performance, include a std. loop light wire tip-top Fuji single foot #10 stripper guide and light wire snake guides. The western-style grip and reel seat feature Afzelia burl sap-heart wood interface, Padauk, Horn, and pre-banned ivory (CITES Treaty). Visit Dennis Harper's blog to read more about the grip making process
The butt section is highlighted by a multi-layered feather inlay featuring feathers from the Amherst pheasant, Peacock pheasant, and Jungle cock. To read more about Harper's feather inlay process please visit his website.
This is a gorgeous one-of-a-kind, high-performance fly rod.
Item Special Note
Includes rod sock and rod tube. Shipping included.
