The other day a photograph shared by popped up on the Swift Fly Fishing Facebook page of a build that Trevor Bourne has recently completed that I think is blow your mind good. I asked Trevor if he'd mind sharing a few photographs for this T.F.M. post and luckily he obliged.
I realize that this post contains a lot of looks at the handle and fighting butt of this Epic 580, but that acrylic work is amazing and the cork and bark work on the handle ain't to shabby either.
Trevor dubs himself an "underground rod builder" but I certainly hope that we see more future builds out of him in the coming months.

Lemke reel seat with a Buckeye burl spacer, Snake brand guides and an agate guide from J.E. Arguello."
