Saw one of her first rods at the shop a couple of years ago. She does nice work, talented girl you and your wife should be proud.

Nice work! The rod looks great. Hey Goose, she doe not need more time before teaching, I've been working on building a rod with Mike (won at the raffle TFCTF night) and she has been coaching me all the way. She's a reel pro! It must run in her genes.

Shes doing great--looks like shes gonna take over for dad-I also like the halographic braid look-guide wrap looks nice also--I like the rod bed you wouldnt happen to have an extra 4 ft section of this style(looks like the clemens copy of the renzetti)

She certainly ain't shy about her color selection. Maybe she should start posting on all the color combo threads, some guys NEED a womans touch when it comes to color selection.
