From time to time I have a rod or 2 in the shop that I'm offering for sale. They will be listed below.
The Seven - Four 2/2 $595
This 7-foot 4-weight is based on the Sir D taper, designed by Wayne Cattanaugh in honor of Daryl Hayashida. It's a light, dry-fly 4wt, best for me with a Rio Grande WF4 line. Even medium brown flamed cane, torpedo grip and a burled redwood reelseat. Hardware and 12/64th Super-Z ferrules made on my lathe. Wrapped translucent red silk, tipped black. Fished a couple times, and cast at a couple shows. A very nice 7-footer, great for small streams and delicate dry-fly work. The "Cattanaugh hinge" as they call it, makes this rod a nice roll-caster as well.
Southbend 346 9-foot 3/1 $125
This rod I bought as a re-habber before I started building my own rods. It's a 9ft 6-weight that I happily fished in Wyoming, on the North Platte, as well as here on Nebraska ponds and streams. One tip is down 1 inch, the other is down 8 inches, which is why i listed it as a 3/1. (I have to say, though, that it still casts fine with the shorter tip!) I re-wrapped it in its original and correct colors, chinese red tipped white, including the correct signature wraps. the oval decal is 90% gone; the model and recommended line weights are inked on the shaft (HDH or D). I replaced the worn out (small) Mildrum stripper with a very pretty 10mm red agatine stripping guide. It's got a red aluminum reelseat with nicks but perfectly functioning. There is a chunk taken out of the top of the grip where some doofus used it as a hookkeeper. The ferrules are nice and tight. It's got a better-than-new finish - I stripped and re-dipped the rod in classic Spar varnish. Comes with a dark olive poplin cloth bag I sewed for it. No tube.
