Pike Rod - Bartsch BF 909-2

After long work I managed to finish the first rod for this year. I've been a little bit out of exercise but everything went well. I built the rod for a pike fly fishing session in Ireland ( Lough Derg ). I hope, I'll drill some nice Esox with this rod. Karl Bartsch, one of the most skilled rod builder I ever met helped me with the choice of the components. Many fly fishermen don't like 2 piece rods but I do even it will be a little bit more difficult with the transportation. 






It's a 9 foot  9WT rod built on a Bartsch BF 909-2 blank with an ALPS reel seat, REC guides. Thank you very much Karl for your help !
