Note to self. Your 70 to late to start baitcasting/flyfishing. Continue to have fun fishing, don't over think it.

That's the attitude I have when building rods. I don't buy top of the line blanks. I have fished with some very experienced builders, and caught fish off their rigs. with little exception, I don't feel the difference in feeling the bite.

Yeah I wasn't sure if heating the wire (butane torch) would compromise the wire.

Very nice work!! I really know nothing about making spinners. But do you think twisting would be easier heating the wire?

That can't happen, Croix is a Husky/Pit mix 95 lbs. and thinks he's a lap dog. I had to stop letting him off leash, chases everything. Just recently he's having problems with a hind leg. A-5 do you live near Don?

Rattle crank Bait?

Dam and my plane is in the hanger for repairs till next week.

When we fish together, we'll just say Don caught it.

I wasn't paying attention on a cast and caught this doormat, on spearing.

Thanks!

Of course UL Mitchell's for me. Inshore Penn and Shimano Nasci.

I'd check out Rodbuilding.org a lot of knowledgeable people there. Builders from all over the world.

Roger that. All the trout rods I use, are 5' - 5.5'. Although I have a variety of rods.

Happy Birthday, young man. I almost remember 50;). Looks like the builder had trout in mind judging from the decal.
