“The Birch” Swap Rod
This is my entry in to the RodBuildingForum.com‘s 50-80 rod swap. I turned the handle from basswood and painted it to look like birch bark. The wraps were done in white Gudebrod, painted off white and also painted like birch bark.
The blank is a 7’ 9” 3 wt. 2 piece from Janns Netcraft. Black double foot snakes and stripping guide, black PacBay uplocking reel seat. Overall, it is a really interesting rod! I am going to build another for myself.
