Every once in a while a build comes along that will surprise the builder. When the customer first approached me with his color scheme for this build I thought it might be a little loud... for my taste. He wanted the wraps to match the red accents on his Hardy Angel reel. Well, after building the rod, I stand before you with egg on my face. While this rod may pop with its Candy Apple Red wraps, it pops in a great way. The rod has a new school attitude with a classic pedigree.
