The ACE of SPADES
Been putting off finishing this project all winter, but while waiting to get the bits and pieces for MacFly's LL project, I honed my skills up on the BLACK "S" glass (meaning a faster action).
The Guides, hook keep and tip top are black nickel. Reel seat Black with black nickel insert with etched Trout. Black thread....total black out!
The cork is a smaller grip that I have had for awhile. Works well for me.










Some things are better left alone, Even though, some feel they know better.

Very very nice! That is a classy looking combo!

What weight is it and what are you targeting?

It is a 6 weight. And it is for my Carp addiction as well as those Lake D, C and H trout up your way. I use 6 weight more than anything I think.

I buy a lot of my stuff from JS for they are a pretty good out fit to deal with. Nice looking set up FGD.

You certainly have talent FGD and I'm sure most of us on the fly & Utah board recognize this trait.
