I wrote about this rod in one of my old posts in Serbian. I built it a couple of years ago utilizing different tip and butt sections of Batson E glass blanks, creating a semi-parabolic staggered ferrule rod (tip 6" longer.)A couple of months ago I finished another tip section, which now works much better with #5 line (original fine diameter tip was suitable for #4, but worked fine with #5 line for short casts.)
Resava is a small, cascading mountain stream in Eastern Serbia. I used to fish it all the time, many years ago, and it is a perfect water for short rods.

Vlad, you know how lucky I feel that to have you back blogging and posting! : D
Your work always inspire me a lot, seriously, when I saw your wet fly, I am looking up the catalog to get more material... now... those rod photos are stirring up some rod building mood... ha...very nice! thanks!
Thanks Mark...you are always kind with your comments. I am waiting for the spring and trying to be patient. Spring is a good time for soft hackles, once the first hatches start around here.
Vlad...very cool idea and build.
Thanks Cameron. In the meantime I obtained another, third tip which can be made into a 6/7wt-I am not sure if I'll go for it right now...
