to those in rod swap

[clyde holmes]

I know the Holidays are upon us, was just wondering how everyone was doing? My old Monty got tabled for the moment. Joe and I are planning a fishing trip in January. Restocking the fly boxes at the moment. I have the new guides and stripper taped on. Want to take it out and test cast it before I start wrapping. Still having problems with photos, but hopefully Ill be able to post some directly. Regards-Clyde

Have my rod (Heddon 10 9' 3/2) and did project photos, now I need to diagram and log the rod in. Then I will have to decide how to attack it (where I am going with it and how) and start to order guides and thread. The hardware and thread alone may be an adventure. Then start stripping it down and regluing.

Though the mouse did a number on it, you can still see some of the original beauty of the rod. Corners are razor sharp. It should finish up just great.
