Tyler, What is the thought on the fighting butt on the smaller rod? I know there are several rods that use fighting butts on 4wt, but I haven't seen one on a rod that short. Are you using this for lakes and some bigger fish, or is it to protect the reel when you set it down? As always nice looking rod.
I like a fighting butt on all my rods as I have bad wrists and it helps when I'm playing a fish. Plus I like of a rod with a fishing butt.
its of all the reasons above. I just like fighting butts, and the good thing about rod building is there are no rules. I have butts on my 2 weights hehe
That is cool. I agree, that is the great thing about building your own, you can do whatever you want. I also agree that I think fighting butts look great. I was just curious if there was a functional reason as well. As always. Great work!
That is the same as i built for my first rod, and to date the only one i have built. What inlay is that? I must get around to building another someday soon,maybe something for the salt. Cheers Richard
