10ft 3wt Custom Nymph fly rod in simple and clean style

IM-6 30T modulus graphite blank with medium-fast action.

Rod for Euro style, short line nymphing technique.

The rod will be your arm extension while leading your nymph rig and will let you fill every stone, bump, or spooky fish bite and will protect the finest tippets.

It has enough backbone to fight trophy fish as well and this will be definitely a trill. 

It doesn't mean it won’t present a dry fly with fines if there are raising fishes..., or when extra length is needed.

The rod weight is 102g measured on my scale.

But don’t let this full you, the rod is well balanced.

 I put more weight in the butt using nickel-silver cap and ring hardware, the cap and ring hardware only weight is 22g (32g with wood insert), so you can balance the rod with every 150g reel. 

The other components I used are:

- Snake Brand Original guides and tip top, wrapped with silk;

- Misldrum striper guide;

- Custom turned cork handle;

- Custom rod cloth.

The rod is for selling. Asking price  $190. SOLD.

Snake Brand Universal Eco coating light ware guides

Pearsal's silk

Custom flor grade cork handle

Custom wood insert and nickel silver cap and ring reel seat.

I designed the rod with nickel silver hardware which is significantly heavier than aluminum, that is way I choose cap and ring style reel seat.
