It is indeed. Superbly tasteful. Sandy is a top craftsman. My very fist rod I owned when I was a kid was white glass (solid glass) so it has sentiment value too  :)

Sod it, time for a couple of new reels to go with it.  8) :)

The new glass has certainly come on a long way. I have had two Milbro wobblers in the past that were pretty hopless except they were hard to break !!

Have a look at VR Fly Reels, one of them would match it very nicely! Maybe the bronze colour to match the reel seat hardware..

That is a beautiful rod. Partway through building a rod myself just now, not a patch on that. Next time I may have to speak to Sandy....
