This rod
has a wonderful story around it. During the late winter I was contacted by a
bespoke shoe-maker in Barcelona, Mr Norman Vilalta. Norman is a true artisan
and makes the most beautiful shoes available. Even better he has a very unique
style, classic yet contemporary. This appeals to me on all levels. Norman
offered me a pair of shoes in return for a build. I decided to offer him a Tom Morgan
build, and this is the result. The TMR 7’6’’, 4wt is as smooth as it gets.
Perfect for trout fishing in crystal clear Pyrenéean mountain streams. I decided
to finish it with an all cork seat to keep the weight down. The reel seat is seamlessly
connected to slightly tapered Ritz grip. Mildrum stripping guide and Snake
Brand Universal snake guides wrapped in red Gossamer silk. Norman - I hope you
will enjoy this rod as much as I will wear your shoes with pride.
