Graywolf Rods Steffen 7/8 Weight Build

Shane Gray of Graywolf Rods finished a very interesting Steffen Brothers 8'6" 7/8 weight three piece blank build this week that he offered for sale on the Graywolf Rods Blog last night.  Shane built this with a "vintage flare" and I really like the thread work and metal reel seat with fighting butt on this big fish stick.  The Steffen Brothers blanks are of a progressive action and in my book some of the best "workhorse" fiberglass fly rods on the market today.

More photographs of this fiberglass fly rod build can be viewed on the Graywolf Rods Facebook page.







This Perfection Grade build has been sold.

Shane also sent along a short list of available  blanks that he has in stock and requires only a $50 deposit to put your name on the blank.

wow, that looks great. i've only played around a bit with some test wraps, and A didn't look nearly that defined, but D did.
