Good Morning,
| It’s been a while since I last updated my site. Life has changed over the past while with our family. My wife is now in dementia care which leaves me more time to work on rods. Orders for rods has keep me very busy with over a dozen done in the past 15 months. I have not resupplied my inventory due to the number of orders. Reality, my inventory is now down to two rods. It was past time to removed the sold ones from the new rod section. |
|
Now to
the rod building. It seems like there
is a number of people want bigger rods. So, I've
built a number of 8'6" 98 weight rods that the
owners want for pike, musky or coho fishing.
Several other rods have been little ones for small
stream fishing. |

This rod is one of two
rods that were “Scalloped Hollow”. Utilizing the
same taper for a 3 piece rod. The swing weight
saving is substantial. I have lawn cast and it felt
very light in the hand.
