nice work man!
I have not made a rod but I make my own lures and Flies and love the added bonus of nailing fish on my own gear.
The spiral-wrap Is Dope, I love that!

Thanks!

There is defiantly a deeper satisfaction in tricking a fish with something you have made yourself. You should pick up a cheap fly rod kit and build yourself a rod. I got started with a 2wt fly rod kit I got for my birthday years ago. Its pretty easy building a serviceable fly rod.

I love the spiral wrap! I will never use another casting rod without one!

I made some with my father many years back... I'd love to get back into it.

Beautiful job on your latest creation... I'm sure you'll haul in some hawgs with it.

Yeah man thats a sweet rod. I think the Boognish incorporated into the bindings would look cool.

Thanks! Shore fishin has been impossible this year. The river has been blow out for most of the season but its finally getting back within the banks, just in time for the spawn to shut the action down. :x Only a few fish in the 20lb + range so you have a great chance!

"I think the Boognish incorporated into the bindings would look cool."

Me too I think it would look great weaved into the butt section but I have no idea how to do that yet. Perhaps a winter time project. :ugeek:
