Being a bit bored of not managing to get out for some Grayling and finding tying flies just a necessary evil, I decided to build a rod for a friend who had been nagging for ages to build him one. He wanted a British made blank so went for a Harrison Ballista 9'6'' #6. Not a fast action but more mid to tip. Single leg rings and a Pistachio coloured Harrison reel seat with custom made end piece. Dark blue thread tipped with light blue gives it a simple but clean look.
