Chestonia 9' 5wt. IM12 Graphite Fly Rod made in Michigan by Mark

9' 5 wt. IM12 Tan Cream colored graphite fly rod.
Very light feel. Strong butt yet soft at the tip.
Ash colored aluminum reel seat with dyed Maple burl insert.
"Proof Brand" ash wire gold guides.
Dark brown wraps with gold trim.
This is an AuSable main stream rod. Dry flies, nymphs, streamers all work.

I cast every rod I make to check for action and proper build. Every rod I make is unique and one of a kind. I may use the same blank again but trim, reel seat combinations, and guides are all carefully thought out. Sleeve is included. Each rod is labeled, dated, and hand signed. I am a retired florist/ greenhouse grower. I build rods, tie flies, and garden. I fish as often as I can. Chestonia is a bridge on the Jordan River in Michigan near my family cottage.

Send me a message for information about Custom built fly rods. I will get back to you quickly with any information you require. Thanks, Mark
