AFAW Rods
Just got done building my first Any Fish Any Where (AFAW ) Rod . I have to tell you this is the most perfect rod blank I have ever seen. Most rods have a bend to them about ˝” + thru out the rod. The AFAW Blank had ZERO deflection. Tobias you’re going to love it. Hope you go large with it.
Thumb-Burner you got a great product there. You will do well with them keep up the good work.

Hey Kevin, I'll have three of the rods with me at Cutty if you want to cast them. I might have a fourth, we'll see  |

Hey Mac
I made sure to stand behind as I was watching. as Jim said. it took two to land that blue with a hand line. Just had to shake my head and smile.

Will the UPTIDE make a good spinning rod for the canal to throw surface and metal lures?

I think it will make a great canal stick. I picked up the stick from Mike for Andy and brought it up. If I had been thinking I would have brought a reel down with me and made a few casts. Rod seems very crisp and should throw 2 to 4 very well. |

Not a problem, you guys can try it out too. I'll have the Estuary, Uptide, and Surf and maybe the Universal with me at Cutty.

Keep in mind the ferry now charges 10 cents a pound for what you bring over, remember competition is good and the competition is gone
