Finally getting around to uploading some pics of a St.croix rod i made and said would show off.

It may not be special but its special to me now.

Some nice work there Steve! I take it there is some homebrew in the background of one of those shots too.

From the look of the thread in the first picture I don't think Aqua was the intent. Correct me if im wrong of course.

I got some really bright orange, some black and some gold to refresh the very first flyrod I purchased after 10yrs of faithful service, I'm hoping the orange stays as bright as it is now when I apply the finnish.
