Put the first bend into the rods yesterday. This brings the thread full circle for me
 There is nothing like finding joy on a rod you built yourself Shoe |

Congrats. Nice catch - made even better by breaking in the rods you built.

hey shoe, thanks alot for all of your help when i was building this rod(from tunaclub). got her all done and am waiting for my blue avet and something to but a good bend in it. its the same blank as you, but just HD aftco rollers and a straight butt. it feels good to have a rod that i built myself and know how everything goes together on it. i might try building a good fluke rod this winter if i can find a good blank for it

Nice job on the rod, have built a few myself.
 Every heard if you don't trow the first fish back the rod will never catch another fish? I don't buy that one either

Absolutely Phenomenal
Reel-deal-
That is just plain awesome. I think it's so cool that you took the time to learn about it and build such a nice rod! The pictures speak for themselves- you did an incredible job I tell you, when you hook up with that first fish on that set up you are going to be grinning from ear to ear. Thanks again for posting it up- you just made my night. Now go get it bent, and when you do, please put up a picture on this thread! Shoe |
