Nice rods Matt. I like the dark one, looks like chocolate and I love Toblerone.

Just finished up another D8013 tri-hex. You can see the different-sized flats. Spalted ash reelseat, hand-made 14/64 step-down ferrule, a nice black Snake
stripper.

Pretty rod Lee. Will I get a chance to play with that one this weekend, or is it for a customer?

Thanks Harry. I'll have this rod at SRG to cast against the original of that design, then it's going to get a ride to Colorado.
Will also have new 8615s in regular hex and tri-hex design. Lee |

Jim,
My thanks to you sir!!! Casting this rod on the football field before it left here I had one of my student's (fly tieing and rod making) cast it and he described it as absolute perfection. I look forward to hearing Pats reaction to it when it arrives there Jeff |

Wow, you're a devilish sort, Mr. Hatton. My anticipation was high, and now you post photos. An astounding work of art. If that tool arrives today, the
temps are ideal to give it a little test on a local stream. Nice. And I love the dark cane!

Gnome shows his versatility by going dark alluring brunette versus blond. Very nice.

8615 tri-hex | #95 | ||
|
Posts: 540 11/05/2009 16:02 |
I finished an 8615 tri-hex just in time for SRG. Haven't even put a finish on the reelseat fittings yet.
Smooth like the regular 8615 but I think it has a little more power than the regular hex 8615 - I can get tighter loops with a DT6 than a WF6. Weighs 4.3 oz. Mesquite wood in a repro Dickerson uplock, 15/64 step-downs - really one of Dickerson's nicer tapers. Lee |

Jeff, your work is astounding. This is a great example of a new twist on an old idea. Reminds me of a 19th Century Conroy ash/greenheart.

I'll add that if that rod of Lee's is the one I cast at SRG (and it sure looks like it is), then it casts as nicely as it looks. I had two favorite
rods I cast at SRG, this one of Lee's was one of the two.
I'll admit though, that I was not casting without bias. I got to know Lee a bit at the SRG (thanks for the ferrule making lessons, Lee!), and he was one of my favorite PEOPLE at the event too. A great rod and a great guy. Tyler

Lee, that's a beautiful rod and the reelseat is REALLY nice!
