St Croix Disgust and tying my own blanks

[Melvinp]

I really can’t bash custom rods I have two a fenwick 8,6 ft. 4 weight flyrod and a 7ft hmx fast action spin rod which are probably my favorite rods of my collection just about made Z gag when I lifted a 15in flopping rainbow into the boat with my light weight spin rod but it didn’t break lol

Dang Don, your gonna cost me. 10 rod blanks some as much as $400+ for $500?! I thought they would exclude their expensive models so I put in cart and nope, discount applies. I’ll start a thread to see if anyone wants in on a group buy.

Nice winter project...

DonM might need something for his Daughter.

Yeah that's why I avoid tie flying, plastic pouring, jig making, and this. I don't need another hobby. I don't have time for the ones I already have.
