11' 8wt. four piece component kit
We designed this blank with steelhead fishing in mind. Our 11' 8wt. offers plenty of power to turn over sink tips and also works great for fishing nymph rigs with a floating line. The medium/fast action is excellent for indicator rigs where mending is necessary.
We chose a raw carbon finish with a semi-gloss top coat for the blank. This allows a neutral pallet that opens wide the range of hardware and thread colors that will work.
This kit contains all of the parts* to build out your rod.
This kit can be customized with the drop down menus to the right. You can select the grip, reel seat hardware, reel seat insert, and guide set color. The guide set comes complete with a hand fit tip top, full set of guides, stripping guide, hand fit winding check, and a hook keeper.
For additional custom options such as a custom label or alignment dots, please visit our custom "add on" page. You can find it here:
