Chestonia 9'0" 6wt. Graphite Fly Rod Hand Made in Michigan by Mark

9'0" 6 wt. Matte blue graphite fly rod. IM8
Very light weight for a 6 wt.
Sharp AAA grade cork grip .
Gun metal 6061 Aluminum reel seat with black burl Maple insert .
"Proof Brand" light wire ash guides
Powder Blue thread wrap with India ink black trim in the wrap.
Throws a brown drake like a dream and yet perfect for large hoopers and weighted streamers.
Fast action with strong butt section. Throws a 7 wt. forward very nice. This blank is my son's favorite streamer rod for the AuSable.

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.
