Show your Signature Wraps
#1I thought it would be fun to show the Signature Wraps on our fly rods. You can show a solo, a duo, or a trio. But let’s not post more than 3 in any one picture. Feel free to post as many photos as you want, but let’s keep to 1 photo per post. I will begin my signatures with this photo:
FE Thomas Special
George Guba/ Tim Zietak Quad
Bill Edwards 50 Quad
Now let the Signatures flow!!!!!! Jed

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it. T.R.

#9Michael and Adam, thank you for the Winston’s and the Grangers. Adam what is that exquisite signature on the right with your signature on it?? Michael thanks for those nice Winston wraps. Let’s try to limit the number of rods to 3 or less per post because with more than 3 I don’t think we can focus on the individual rod signatures as well. Keep the signatures coming!! Jed

#11Are those green and red wraps Paul on the Hewitt??? Very bright!! Thanks Michael for editing down your Winstons to 2. It’s easier to appreciate the details of the wraps that way. Blessings, Jed

#19Scott, you will be fined by the powers that be. I think giving up one of those exceptional quads to the author of this thread would be due punishment. Scott those quads are just phenomenal. The 4 sides really show off the wraps. Thanks for posting them. Adam your taper signature is gorgeous. How many wraps are on it and what colors are they?? Phenomenal wraps Adam!! Thank you Adam. Dark Waters thank you for that 7’ Rosgen. They are golden. Nice Thomas Specials Dark Waters. I think I’ll go back into my man cave and drag out some signatures. Thanks all!! Signatures wanted!!!! Keep writing this “thread”!!! Jedq

#20You know Quash those emerald green wraps are just suited to bamboo. They are so vivid; they are like Chinese characters on bamboo. Beautiful!! Jed
