Those Union Hardware wraps remind me of Edwards rod wraps. Jed

Stunning, Mark! This one has my vote for being among the best.

And I really appreciate the full-sized photo rather than a thumbnail.

Did someone say intermediates? My Fairy, restoration by Mike Sinclair, magnificent work. Handle left as-is, I like it.

Excellent! I wondered where that sweetgrass rod went. I waved it around a few times while it sat in the case downtown. Really love those kelly green wraps!
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it. T.R.

I like these on a vintage Leonard 50DF
I want to be buried with my favorite rod.
I hear the Styx River has Fish.

I am not a great fan of green silk, but ... These two rods are an exception to that rule in my collection .. A Carlson Green Hornet made for Bob Gorman, and in the background a H Hawes late 20s 3/2 7'6" for a 4 line. Both have some nice signature wraps ...

Love the warm Carmel color Streamer achieved on that rod.
I want to be buried with my favorite rod.
I hear the Styx River has Fish.
