Item Description
Artisan One-of-a-Kind Hand Built Rod and Reel Package
From the North Fork Composite rod blank designed by Gary Loomis and masterfully built on by Nathen Cowley, to the 3D printed beast of a reel (many 30# plus fish landed) designed and built by Trevor Tanner. To the handmade rod sock and aluminum rod tube. You will never find a more unique combination built in the U.S.A.
Rod
8wt Iconoglass (@nortforkcomposites) blank for the foundation of this build. Outfitted with a complete titanium guide train and an aluminum Lemke reel seat, along with flor grade cork turned in house for both the handle as well as the fighting butt. The decorative thread wrap is a 6-axis scale pattern in shades to match not only the custom 3D printed reel, but also the Casting for Recovery logo.
Reel
In a world where all fly reels are starting to look and feel the same, this is the most unique reel you can own! The first commercially available, fully functional, precise, and durable 3d printed fly reel capable of fighting and landing big powerful fish.
