This is the first CTS Quartz I have completed in a while. The quality is still outstanding, and this little 7'6'', 4wt is a great performer. The rod was completed with an up/downlocking cork seat and a neat, straight Ritz grip. Snake Brand Originals wrapped with Kimono silk in salmon pink. This rod will be featured in an American article about the fiberglass Renaissance, together with other premium rod builders. I do hope it will also get some time on the water next summer. That's what rods are for....
