2-strip quad from a hex taper I dithered up for tossing big flies for our cats, carp and pike ........ if the PMQ holds up, it'll be enuf proof from the pudding to continue on the hex.
This is the only window dressing I have so far ....... guides are marked ....... hoping to have it done by next week.
Will post more pics when its done ........
nice! Pike Abwehr Kanonen

Well ...... it's done ........ and if all goes well, it'll be fished tonite too.
Finished the wraps and guides last nite. Epoxied the reel seat on and left to cure over nite.
I test cast it before the pics (of course) .... wow - what a beast. Arms definately will get a workout, but it casts as expected - and to me, that's surprising. It was designed with a medium action with a bit of a kick at the end of the cast. The extra kick is a turbo-boost sort of for tossing big bushy wet flies.
Well - here it is - the rest of the rod .......
