This is just a quick post to give you an update on the quest I’m on to develop my own line of fly rods.
Things are beginning to come together. The first run of prototype blanks are due to be delivered tomorrow. I’m very excited about this. Hopefully I’ll be able to work with the blank supplier to tweak the blanks and give the fly caster the feel I’m looking for.
Another development is that I got a wood turning lathe for Christmas. I’m going to turn my own reel seat inserts. Maybe with the help of Mark Malczynski, I’ll get it figured out in time to include them on my first builds.
Stay tuned as I post further developments on the birth of D.F. Fly Rods.
