Rod builder Jacob Rash of Between Two Banks was recently nudged by his partner Julian Schuller to pick up a couple of blanks from C. Barclay Fly Rod Co. and the end result of these two builds are nothing short of stunning.
The fly rod tapers of Chris Barclay are stellar and the rich brown color of his blanks were the perfect canvas for Jacob to create two very uniquely original builds. These photos speak for themselves.
The stats on these two builds are...
Both rods come with a vintage style aluminum rod tube with finely threaded brass end cap and custom rod bag, by Jillian Schuller.
These rods are both for sale and are priced at $650.00 each. Please visit the Rod Shop page for more information. To inquire with questions or to purchase, please send an email.
