10ft 4wt 4pc Nymph fly rod in simple and clean style

Rod for Euro style, short line nymphing technique. 
Medium-fast action 
The rod will be your arm extension while leading your nymph rig, will let you fill every stone, bump, or spooky fish bite and will protect your finest tippets. It has enough backbone to fight trophy fish and with this rod it would be a massive trill. 
It doesn't mean it wont present a dry fly with fines if there are rising fishes...   

The components I used:
- Seymo snake guides and tip top, wrapped with finest Pearsall’s silk;
- Snake Brand (Fuji) striper guide;
- Custom turned top flor cork handle;
- Up locking reel seat with custom bamboo insert;
- Custom rod cloth;
- Custom Alu tube, cork caps (& bamboo cap as option).
The rod weight is 3.84oz or 109 gr. I put more weight in the but section using heavier reel seat, so you would balance the rod with lighter reel.
