Sweeeeeet!! I have been waiting to see how it turned out. It sure looks pretty. Can't wait for the first report on how it casts, and even more important when you get in that range, how it fights fish. Very nice, Sasha!
Set the hook!

Sweet brookie rod. I'm just a little concerned it's long enough to get a good drift.

briansII ;)

PS, that really is a AAA class rod.

Beautiful stick.

Hmm, by brookies, he might mean "Labrador". BIG brookies.
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Nice stick ya got there. Should work great for launching a double powerbait rig. Does it clip into a fighting harness?

Can't wait to see some chrome lined up next to that blue blank!

450-750? So, it's either a four foot five inch 75 wt. or a 45wt. rod that is seven feet five inches long...right? :lol: :lol:

Jon here is some info for you to read: the 450 to 750 is the grain window that this line will cast, spey rods is a whole other ball game.
For your readind pleasurehttp://www.meiserflyrods.com/what-is-grain-window.php

On what kind of rod Sasha got, if you look at hisImage

You can see
Model: S2H13068C-4
LENGTH: 13'0"
SECTIONS: 4
LINE WT 6/7/8 (This is why you have a grain window from 450 to 750.
Hope this helps

Sasha again it is a great looking rod.

Jon

Sasha can you say "Broom handle"

Very nice, may you catch many a big fish on it!
