Title: My newest fly rod
Post by: Todd Rahm on March 27, 2010, 06:22:18 PM
 This is a my new custom Tiger Eye 9 FT 6/7 WT from K-Kustom Rods. This one has a classic twist with no cp and some black metallic trim... Chromed H & H guides and an AMTak burl seat. The grip is made from a cork block with some strips aded in... Fighting butt to match.


Alls I need now is a new reel.  :biggrin:

That is one fine looking rod ya got there Todd. I was just talking to my buddy the other day about blowing the dust off my flyrods and heading to the mountains soon. It has been way to long...I have an Orvis 6wt with Titanium reel that hasn't even seen the water since I acquired it 5 years ago :doh2: I got a heck of a good deal on it though :innocentwhistle:

Have fun with that bad boy...and you know we want pics :biggrin:

I like my Fly Rods, like my calls.......................Custom.  :biggrin:

This will for sure take some salmon, but I'm going to hit the Kenia River this fall for its famed fatty rainbows, and with any luck I'll get a 30+ incher.  :sneer:

Wow, we know who's making all the money. :eyebrow:
It is pretty slick though.
I've learned a long time ago, that if fishing is your thing, cutting corners with a rod is pretty much a waste of time and money.
