Because of this series, I finally felt the push to make a rod of my own. Hearing great things about fiberglass, I dove right in and this series has me with a reel seat prepped and three guides already wrapped. I’ve emailed Matt and bought some items from him. Absolutely loved this series and really thankful for the extra support Matt provided.
When I wrap things up (pun intended), I’ll link a picture.
I’m new to fly fishing (only a year into it) and I felt totally capable. It’s awesome to have another connection to this sport.
Maybe I missed it. But how does one space the guides
Hi Rich,
Great question. Shoot me an email and I would be happy to talk you through guide spacing. proofflyfishing@gmail.com
