Just completed another Steelhead float rod build. Built on a Rogue SS 963 9’6″ 4-8# blank. Split grip handle, American Tackle AERO reel seat, REC Black Pearl Titanium guides. Reel seat set lower to optimize rod length for keeping line off the water, which in turn, creates a great drag free drift. This rod will be a joy to fish a float and jig!
Tried something different with the trim wraps. This is one continuous purple thread finishing off the first guide on the rod:

Tight lines and bobber downs to all!!
