Built this rod at the end of 2012 but i never got the chance to use it.
10ft 4wt Pac bay 4 piece blank with a matt black Pacbay reel seat.
I got some water slide decals made up with a small dipper bird which was my fathers alias when he wrote angling articles for the local news paper.
Now that he is gone and fishing in the limestone lochs in the sky it's great comfort to see the small birds on the river when fishing and to have the decals on my rod builds.
I can fault the Pacbay blank, lovely black gloss finish and a nice soft action for nymphing.
Might get myself a 11ft 3wt to play with next.
