pics finally
OK - got the camera back ..... son didn't get any good pics of the caddis, but did get the green goober.
Decomissioned 10wt (undersized ferrules, failed right when expected ......). My own taper - casts great, but will need new stock of bamboo to make a hex.
The PMQ - for the 6yr old (just under 5yrs old when WE made the rod - he did help a lot - even did one guide wrap ... as shown).
And the Hex (H2 - 2nd hex, both just blithering around hex's) ... good thing it was a practice one ..... you can see the filler strip (kinda destroyed one while planing, nothing close to replace it .... (ok, planed the enamel side in error). Not too bad otherwise ... camera's going goofy on me, having hard time taking closeups (never did before) - but there's one gash in the rod but other than that - the glue lines are pretty good (for the overgrown tomato stake it is).
