Over the years I have purchased a variety of outdoor gear but nothing custom made for me. Gary Barnhart has done just that by putting together a stunning fly rod and reel that is designed to meet my specific fly fishing needs, and it was done with the expertise and beauty of fine art! My rod is a 9’ 5 wt. IM6 Graphite rod in matte charcoal with a pheasant feather inlay, as well as my name embossed on the rod and gold thread wraps. Gary matched the fly rod with a Ross Evolution LT #2 reel that has such a great feel. I cannot say enough about what a treat the whole process has been and what a class act of a person Gary is to work with. He is not only an amazing craftsman, but the consummate gentleman. You owe it to yourself to purchase one of Gary’s amazing fly rods!
