rusty521 Report post Posted December 16, 2012 Completed this fly rod and matching reel case this week, i used Tandys Professional Waterstain Dark Brown for the trim and Eco-Flo antique Gel Saddle Tan for the main body. i completed the case by sewing it around a 2 nch diameter aluminum tube. I did not have a pattern to build the reel case so i tried to match the rod case as best as i could. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David8386 Report post Posted December 17, 2012 Looks good, I think you did a good job designing the reel case. Like the closure also a lot of people would have just put a snap on it. I think a darker thread would have blended in with your colors better but that just me. Over all a very good job thanks for posting it. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tylerbrinks Report post Posted January 4, 2013 What thickness of leather did you use for each item? I'm thinking of doing a very similar project - tube and reel case - and I'm not sure what thickness or type of leather to use. Thanks for the input, and nice work!
