Stripping flyrod grips and hardware and redoing the cork.Turning the grips on a lathe in the shed.Converted a 10' 7wt singlehander to a 2hand switchrod for Hardy.Rehabbing spinning rods for a few friends.Now that March is around the corner the phone will start ringing right through May for all those that "need it now"[every year]  . |

Planning on doing more beach fishing this year, so I just picked up a GSB1201L blank and will be tying up a nice spinner for myself soon. I also got the new style anti fouling alconite guides to try out too. Going to use a NGC layout with Numbskull's guide layout...40-25-16-10-8-8-8-8 and see how she does.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Reconsider, this build is the nutz if your reel spool isn't too big.

If you want I can bring it to TCTFN and you can give it a spin. |

Looks like I just added another rod to this winter's list; a cod jigging rod for a trip in the end of April. Makes sense, buy a reel and wrap a rod for a trip I will take maybe once a year.   |

I agree with Numby that you should consider it, especially with a 1201l |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Be careful, though. The first guide's size and location is reel spool size dependant. You'll need to test cast.
