| A truly unique high performance fly rod , like this Dan Craft FT 10' 4wt Switch Rod, that can't be found elsewhere is another reason to invest in a custom fly rod. |
| Dan Craft Five Rivers FTXL 9' 4pc 4wt with Amtak AW12T reel seat, custom grip & fighting butt made from brown burled cork with rubberized cork ends, Titan guide set and black wraps with Royal blue trim. |
| You will always see a precision fit of the reel seat to the custom grip and fighting butt. Color coordination of the seat insert and thread wraps is your choice with a custom fly rod. |
| I always properly stack and burnish the thread while I'm wrapping so you won't see thread gaps on the guide feet. I always taper the finish from the thread wraps to the rod blank for complete protection of the thread and easy cleaning of the rod. Personalization of the rod is the customer's choice. |
| Precision fit of the grip to the rod blank ensures long life and maximum adhesion. A decorative winding check and hook-keeper are standard but not required to cover up an improper fit of the grip. |
| I build saltwater fly rods as well. This Dan Craft FT 9' 8wt rod is over 5 years old in this photograph. It's been around the world, from Great Britain to Alaska to Los Roques and still looks new with just a little cleanup. |
| Every single foot guide receives blocking wraps in front of the guide post to ensure secure attachment of the guide and a premium look to the finish. |
| Each double foot guide receives wraps between the guide feet for an extra secure attachment and a smoother premium look to the finish. Note the glass like finish of the wraps along with the decorative spiral and end trim. |
