A sweet reminder to his dad,, no doubt his Ole Dads gonna shoot sunbeams every time he holds it...:cool:

You do fine thoughtful work , Merry Christmas

Be safe

Great work as usual. Those 1 and 2 strand accent color wrappings look very nice, but I really like the wider silver metallic accents that you used on this rod. I think they make the rod look like it's bejeweled.

Steve,
I am always impressed with your craftsmenship

Thanks guys. I've got a rod I've been working on for the past week now that is one I think is gonna blow your guys socks off. I think it's one of the most detalied rods I've ever done, and it's one I'm building for my 17 yr old nephew for Christmas. But...it is a spin rod:p But it's still pretty cool though. I hope to have some pics of that one up in the next day or so for you guys to check out.

Not to worry Steve. I've been known to hold a spinning rod or two. Especially when I'm throwing jigs for Crappie and Bass. :D
I can hardly wait to see it.
