    Default rookie cane builder

    2 winters ago I was fortunate enough to have a friend help me build a cane rod in his basement shop. He has built quite a few and does a pretty nice job. Since then the itch has continued to grow and I have accumulated the required tools and materials to start my own little hobby shop.
    After some trial and error I finally have a Paul Young Midge ready to varnish with a second rod I should be final planing this week (Dickerson 8013). If all goes well about a month from now I should have a couple rods ready to cast. I have to say I have enjoyed the tool making but now that I have produced something resembling a rod I am very excited to see the finished product.

    Congratulations Jeff! Each new one will surpass the last! In build anyway.
    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
