Will make it short and sweet.
Somebody gave me an old 1492. Thought it'd make a good 2wt. reel. So I built a 2 wt.
Took it out today for a test run. Taking this with a phone was tougher than I thought it'd be. The Tilapia won.

Trying to take a picture while fighting a fish? I would have dropped the phone and broke the rod. That's a nice clean looking build.

Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.
Funny, I just got a 1492 also and going to make up a rod for the wife. Now I just need to get her into a casting class. I tried to teach her with no luck. It was easier training 45 new recruits in Basic Training as a drill sgt. than it is trying to teach fly casting to my wife
A recruit has little recourse against a drill sergeant, a wife on the other hand.......... Find a Joan Wulff video and get her to watch that it may be a language problem.
Hey, I had to teach my wife to drive a car in the first couple of years we were married. I still have the same wife, 3 week shy of 46 years.
Want to hear God laugh? Tell him Your plans!!!
I do it all the time on either crystal white or black wooly buggers on my 2wtCG 007.jpg
If you've ever kept cichlids of any sort (to which tribe tilapia belong) you'll know they're aggressive regardless of food preferences. Sometimes they just want to kill something.
