    Default Bad, bad, bad!!!!

    After completing at least half a dozen rods for others (including the 2008 Ducks Unlimited rod!!), I weakened on Monday and ordered TWO tiger eye blanks FOR MYSELF!!!!!!! One is a 6' 4#, the other is a 7'6" 3#!!
    They're supposed to arrive today, and I can hardly contain myself!!!

    Bassman, my "research" shows anyone that carries them is within a buck or two of each other so pick your favorite or the one that carries the complementary components you want...haven't ordered one yet myself.

    Betty.

    I have already asked but when they arrive would you share your opinion of the tips on the Tiger eyes?

    I do trust the first opinion I was offered but the more the merrier.

    I am sick of whippy tipped rods and my next rod will be stiffer in the tip section allowing for easier pick-up of size 8-2 flies for Smallies.

    Betty: I was confused by your opening. I thought you had done something really serious and had ordered a bundle of culms and some new Hock planing irons. Whew! your safe a little longer.
