Forecast Rods
A few years back a fellow asked me what type of grip I liked. Even though I had wrapped several rods I had never built one from scratch. So I told the guy I had no idea what he was talking about. That led me to get interested in rod building. Some of my first efforts were on Forecast Blanks. I was more than pleasently surprised that such an inexpensive blank could produce a rod that was a real pleasure for me to cast.
With my wife passing I needed something to do to get my head screwed back on so I decided to build another Forecast rod using metallic thread. The colors are Royal Blue and Gold. I think they really go good with blanks color.
Here's a picture - sorry for the poor camera work.
