Thread: Brotherly gesture

  1. #1

    Default Brotherly gesture

    Just so you know, I've learned a ton from this site! Such great ideas and craftsmen on here. I'm nowhere near where you guys are, but I still try.

    So, December 22nd I get the great idea to do something nice for my brother and put together a fly rod kit that I had bought 7 months before (or so). The rod was a Pacific Bay 9 foot, 5 weight, 3 piece fly rod with a reverse half wells cork handle and black aluminum up-locking reel seat.











    A little extra glue, it scraped off easy enough.



    Most nerve racking part? Applying the epoxy.







    Such a nice looking rod!



    The next morning there was a good looking rod ready to be given to my brother. Surprise! Merry christmas everybody.

    Cool

    Very cool! Someday I'll have to get up the courage to give rod building a try.

    I hope your brother appreciates the effort you put into his new fishing rod. That is a very special gift. Good job, man.
