Fishpart built his first rod last week. 8 foot St Croix conventional. Came out great. You did a great job Ed. You'll be glad you took the time to get it just right. You'll have a lot of pride in telling people you made that rod!

Could not have done it without a patient tutor!!!!!

So ed What I have to wait till the next time I see you to see your new rod ? Pictures Man Pictures . I need Pictures dont ya know I cant read !
CONGRATS !!!!

Have to epoxy, my $20 digital camera is with the wife and kids on vacation. Maybe Saltheart could snap a photo. I probably won't get the rod back in my hands till mid March.

Nothing fancy to photograph. Just an excellent basic build.
