No Rob, it's one of the Epic 580 fly rods that Sandy built  :z4 but no reason why anybody shouldn't post a photo of a spinning rod in the photos thread :wink

 :X2 I realised that....not often you see a photo od Sandys butt though ;)

I currently have certain someones Worming rod on the drying rack....its a rebuild but I could fire up some photos.

Would also have a Czech Nymph (still waiting on a reel seat), a 9 weight and 2 carp rods within the month..and a beachcaster rebuild if I managed to get the sevral miles of thread of the thing!

This is the third fly I tied. Why is this one? It caught my eyes. I've never fished this one before, but probably will give it a go this weekend. I think it will work better in a tea color water, am I right? Cheers. Will do some DHE later for coming season.
