I added a new weapon to the arsenal - a new 10' 5 wt from Dan Craft's Five Rivers company. It's a Northwest Guide Series GXT. I know....what a mouthful.
Reviewed and regarded similar to a Loomis GLX or Sage Z-Axis this rod is going to be my go-to river nymphing rod.
I've built about a dozen rods now and they're honestly pretty damn good quality now. One day I hope to build more for friends / family and even a little business. Right now with the twins, this one took weeks to get done....haha.

| Now ready to wrap some guides....yes that is a baby bouncer on the work table. I usually have an audience. |

| A Full-wells grip is the perfect choice for this 10' footer |

| Tight wraps pre-cure |

| Finished rod with inscription. |
