Trowpa's RS1569

Finalized everything tonight for delivery this weekend. Clean and mean, should throw a country mile and lick a big ol' drum no sweat. Cut 6" off the butt and it will be paired with an avet knobby magged by Coop.

metallic pewter underwrap
silver trim rings
charcoal overwrap

he gave me some room on the butt and I kept it simple hoping to add a custom decal but I had to give up after 6 tries, it was milky for some reason and I'd rather keep the rod simple and clean with the theme Steve picked out.

Woooohoooo!!! Thanks Ben!!

It is truly beautiful. I took it right out and casted a bit in back of the condo (AKA skate central) before heading to the inlet last night.

Compared to the OM (my only other conventional rod) this thing is amazing!!!! Casting 8nchunk feels like nothing - effortless almost compared to the OM.....very very pleased. Gotta get some fish on it now!!!
