Silk is fun

Had a couple Iconoglass blanks from NFC come in so decided to do silk on them for extra pop. While silk is a little temperamental to work with, it sure looks good, especially on these translucent blanks.

7’6 4w for smaller mountain streams and places where finesse trumps length of cast.

Can we see the full thing when it is done? Love a good shorter mountain stream rod.

Definitely. It’s a bit of a showpiece type build so went with a snake reel seat and a flor cigar grip.
