The ACE of SPADES - flygoddess - 03-30-2011 Been putting off finishing this project all winter, but while waiting to get the bits and pieces for MacFly's LL project, I honed my skills up on the BLACK "S" glass (meaning a faster action). The Guides, hook keep and tip top are black nickel. Reel seat Black with black nickel insert with etched Trout. Black thread....total black out! The cork is a smaller grip that I have had for awhile. Works well for me.

[signature] Re: [flygoddess] The ACE of SPADES - cpierce - 03-30-2011 Very very nice! That is a classy looking combo! What weight is it and what are you targeting? [signature] Re: [cpierce] The ACE of SPADES - flygoddess - 03-30-2011 It is a 6 weight. And it is for my Carp addiction as well as those Lake D, C and H trout up your way. I use 6 weight more than anything I think.

I know you are an artist and in the one picture you show the Ace against some driftwood and a brown trout... did you do that??
