Steve Dyczkiewycz of Sagamore Creek Rod Crafters recently sent along a few photographs of an 8'3" five weight McFarland Rod Company blank build that he had completed for Mark Luedke.
Steve wrote about the build...
"We decided to marry the best of yesterday with the best of today while keeping this beauty period correct and authentic. We opted for Struble nickel silver reel seat hardware, a birds eye maple insert, a Struble light amber nickel silver agate stripper guide, and REC Recoil RSF single foot running guides. A Fuji folding hook keeper and a Struble winding check provided the finishing touches. Our thoughts were to build this to let the unencumbered beauty and smoothness of fiberglass shine through so it was wrapped with invisiwraps with a single accent band. I believe we succeeded in capturing Marks fly fishing heritage on this one."

Fine build work and I'm sure that this fiberglass fly rod will not be the last in Steve's shop.
