About time they head off to their new home waters. Been slow on letting them go as my confedence with the epoxy/aluminum bond was so so, had to rebond a few. But happy with how they've settled. These will be the last of this reel. Time for some fresh blood and revamp in the man cave.

Mikio Naka at Off Craft builds a stunning product and this little gem is up for grabs.

本州の渓流で使いやすいサイズの内径240mm。尺上も問題なく収まります。左手でランディングネットを握る仕様になっています。 グリップはトチの杢がある部分を使いました。そのため、裏側にはクラックが入っています。しっかりと穴埋めされてますので問題はありません。 フレームには内、外共にトチを貼りました。間には黒檀とウォルナットを挟み引き締まった印象です。 表面はオイル仕上げ。しっかりと浸透する塗料を施したのちにオイルサンディングしています。 網はクレモナ糸3号を染色し、手編みで仕上げています。 グリップ：トチ フレーム：外からトチ縮み杢、黒檀、ウォルナット、トチ虎杢 塗装：オイル 網：クレモナ手編み
