I simply HAVE to build a set for the Ranger! :cool:

I thought tat was one of those blanks. :) That little thing put a pretty good bend in that rod! :D

That is too cool! There wasn't much time between the cast and the take, either! Did she get it landed?

Glad you are still here to be called a drama queen. The same could be said about me at times but I know exactly how you feel! I did it to my poor Oncologist just this morning. :)

Get well, quick!

This is a 6'6" spinning rod built on an American Tackle Matrix blank. I chose to use a split grip with an Amtack Aero seat and the new American Tackle Microwave guide system on it The graphic I...

Clean it up good and lube it. I use engine assembly lube. It's light and slicker than snot on a glass doorknob. Many times all these old reels need is a good cleaning.

I need to back up a bit here. There was good that came out of this, at least for me.

When I built that rod for him, I posted pics here. One of our members, Uncle Jesse, saw the pics and...

Was this the rod he was trying to peddle?

He doesn't want to come say, "Hi" around here. I'll strangle him...

So THAT's why he wanted pics of the rod in progress! That sorry sack of........

Careful, Steve. I have Stage 3B lung cancer but the only thing I use that to coerce anyone out of is ice cream. It isn't working too well with my wife anymore, though.

I agree with you. Using...

He still owes me a bit for one of the military rods that I built for him. I wrote it off as it wasn't a large amount but his getting something donated on one board then selling it on another, a...

Thrasher? Stimulator? I think that fly is one "Foxy Hooker".

Mount it in the vise point down. After you load it into the computer, use your editing software to flip it over.

Re-read the tag. It says it expires in 2014 unless noted elsewhere and right below that it says lifetime! The license for seniors over the age of 64 in Colorado costs $1.00 per year. This is for...

A free lifetime fishing license!

Let's hope I use this one more than I have been using the ones I have...

When I read this, I thought of the first time all of my sons-in-law and I went fishing as a group. The hubby of the next to youngest girl, Greg, came looking like he stepped right out of an Orvis or...

Just downloaded it to my laptop and iPhone. I look forward to developing some kind of technique that the fish don't laugh at.

The trespass laws are for dry ground. The waterways are considered public property. It does tend to cut down on where you can go behind a bush and relieve yourself though.

Betty has some good...

Too bad. Those "Comficient" grips are cool! Comficient is made up of two words, comfortable and efficient. They look distinctive and I think they are quite comfortable to hold.

I used to think there were more high income fly anglers than others as well. That was until I got the batch of orders for custom baitcast and spinning rods that has come in over the last couple of...

Great! Does your South Bend have the indent for your thumb and the little grooves cut in it? I have a SB bamboo that I am going to semi restore/rework. It probably has the same ugly reel seat...

Nighthawk, why is it I don't remember your name? I know I have seen it. Anyway, I have had my times of unmitigated fear and anger over this. It wasn't until I saw that my only recourse was to give...

Chemo again today. Dr Purcell cut the dosage a bit as this is supposed to be a maintenance kind of thing. Yup. Chemo from now on. The goal is to get a tolerable level of chemo so we keep the tumor in...

Gack! That was some da$%^ tough glue! That is almost my standard way of removing a seat. I guess I've been living a charmed life!

You are not totally lost here. A piece of another old rod can be inserted to replace the broken part. If you can measure the ID of what's left of the butt, I'll send you a section or two of old rod...
