This selection of rods is a very condensed quantity of what is available to the customer. Each manufacturer that I use such as Rainshadow, Sage, StCroix, etc. have many different models and actions to choose from, each with a specific purpose. Give me a call or write an e-mail with your specifications, or tell me what specific fish you intend to encounter, and I will offer a suggestion and promptly return a price quotation.

"BABY TARPON"
American Tackle - 9'-0" - 2 pc - 10 wt rod with machined aluminum "Gunsmoke" reelseat and grey woven graphite insert with a 2" fixed fighting butt.

NEW St.Croix model 42F1007.4, 10'-0" 4pc, 7 wt fly rod for some of the best light action in the salt. This rod incorporates St. Croix's SCIV-SCII graphite blend that generates a fantastic action for accurate long yardage casting.

This rod has a solid nickel-silver reel seat with Cherry Burl wood insert that blends well with the color of the blank. The fighting butt is a fixed 2 " length. The stripping guides and tip top are TiCh plated stainless steel with Silver Zirconia ceramic inserts along with TiCh plated stainless steel snakes as running guides. This rod sports the new "fast tip" action that can deliver tight loops just when you need 'em . . . . .!!! and the blank is all wrapped up in a beautiful Gloss Burgundy finish that St Croix makes so special.

The decorative butt wrap was created with an underwrap of burgundy metallic threads and then overwrapped with a collection of regular threads in burgundy, garnet, scarlet along with gold and copper thread highlights.
