Graywolf Rods Busy Already In 2012

Shane Gray of Graywolf Rods worked steadily through the holidays to not only complete a few customer orders but also worked on a few new offerings for 2012 with a ten foot two hander yellow glass prototype and a 8'3" 6/7 weight build which is offered for sale on the Graywolf Rods Blog.

10' FOUR PIECE YELLOW GLASS TWO HANDER
This glass switch rod is still in the prototype stage but Shane sent me a few text messages after casting it and said that he was more than surprised about the power that this E-Glass two hander has and easily aired out an entire fly line in his backyard. 


Check out the Graywolf Rods Blog post on this build and Graywolf Rods Facebook page for more images and information.

8'3" FOUR PIECE 6/7 WEIGHT YELLOW GLASS
There are a couple new yellow glass offerings for 2012 of which the 8'3" 6/7 weight is included in list.  These blanks are rolled by Mike McFarland and the action is described as progressive medium fast action with a bit more backbone than his other yellow glass offerings.


Check out the Graywolf Rods Blog post on this build and the Graywolf Rods Facebook page for more images and information.  Shane is asking $555 for this build shipped worldwide.

I am constantly impressed by the work that Shane Gray is doing though there is no way that I can justify purchasing all the builds that I want...though I may be able to say that I actually need one of the ten foot switch rods when it's all dialed in and moves from prototyping to being added to the Graywolf Yellow Glass line up.
