On The Bench

This build started with a simple idea—create a rod that feels alive in hand and balanced on the water.

Built on a North Fork Composite Iconoglass 8’6 4wt blank, featuring Tiger stripe cork grip, black and brushed aluminum downlocking reel seat, Snake Brand guides and still deciding on threat color palette, this rod is designed for smaller stream trout.

Every detail, from the grip to the wraps, will be shaped and finished by hand. Stay tuned…
