The Beulah blanks arrived last week. One Guide Series 904-7 (9'/4 sections/7wt) and one Blue Water Series 907/8-4 (9'/4 sections/7-8wt). I'll use the old guides and real seat for the Guide rod. The Blue Water will get a brand new anodized aluminium reel seat and new chrome over stainless steel snake guides. I'll build this last one for bonefish fly fishing and hope to use it during next year. Just need to find some time to visit Karl Bartsch till end of the month to get the missing parts for this two rods and also to finish them till end of the year, at least this is the plan. A high modulus IM8 graphite is used for the construction of this blanks. They are fast, strong and casting will be pure joy.
The old 7wt rod built on a CTS Affinity blank with a broken 3rd section.
At least I was able to take the guides and reel seat from the old rod.
Brand new Beulah toys.
