Item Description
Charles Armontrout Tight Line Custom Rods-Fly Rod - Custom built graphite fly rod, glossy Titanium grey blank color - 8'6", 4 piece for 5wt line, cork grip with an anodized aluminum reel seat with a stabilized, Spalted Maple insert with a hand rubbed high gloss finish. Guides are standard chrome snake guides.
Rod comes complete with a burgundy cloth covered PVC case that has a cloth insert divided into sections for the four rod pieces.
"The wood for the reel seat insert was given to me as part of a misc collection of "scraps" from a fellow wood worker and was from a stump of an old maple tree that had seen better days. Since it was very "pithy" wood, I stabilized several pieces to see if it could be salvaged and as we all know, Miracles still do happen.....I was able to extract some beautiful pieces of turning wood from what was headed for the fire place. This fly rod is complete due in part to a piece of wood that was given a new chance to be as beautiful now as when it was a growing tree."
Charles Armontrout began building fishing rods in 1973 then building fly rods exclusively in 2003. Donated the first fly rod to Casting for Recovery in 2011.
