Brad - Your rod came in the mail today and all I can say is HOLY CRAP that is a nice rod! Your craftsmanship is completely top notch and I cannot thank you enough for sharing. I humbly plan to make this rod a close friend of mine.

Mr Erik Osterby's rod has been shipped. It'll be there in 7-10 days.
Rod arrived yesterday, Took the pink slip into the Post Office today and got it.
Great Job Many Thank's to Casey Holcomb for a Great Job. And A BIG THANK YOU to Brad for the Idea.
And speaking for the "Graduates from the School of Chicken Scratching" I think we ought to get Mr. Flamming to run a Rod Writing Class at the Michigan Fish In.
Again Thanx Casey
Mine arrived today from Jim Flamming. Very nice build, Jim!

Got a package in the mail today from modocdan. Well done sir! Didn't have a chance to cast it, but I'm thinkin it will be a pleasure.
Thanks for setting this up Brad.
Mr. Hise,
My wife says that I received the rod you built in the mail today. Unfortunately, I will not be home to admire it until Sunday.... But, the weather is supposed to be Beautiful, Monday through some time the next week. So, I plan on giving it a good workout on some warm water fishing.
And thanks Brad for such a fun swap. I hope to participate in another one this winter.

WOW!!! The tadpole from Ol Blue was waiting at the post office when we returned to town this evening! Beautiful job, Greg!!! I'm delighted!! Will put a reel to it tomorrow just to see how it casts ... expecting great things! Thank you, Greg, for the beautiful rod, and thank you, Brad, for coming up with this great idea!
Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

Got your rod in the mail. I love it but one problem...do the grand kids have any jammies left since Grandma made my rod bag out of them?
Just kidding Betty. The rod and the bag look great. It will get a workout in Tennessee next week.
