Bad, bad, bad!!!!
After completing at least half a dozen rods for others (including the 2008 Ducks Unlimited rod!!), I weakened on Monday and ordered TWO tiger eye blanks FOR MYSELF!!!!!!! One is a 6' 4#, the other is a 7'6" 3#!!
They're supposed to arrive today, and I can hardly contain myself!!!

A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

Yes, you are !!! And you should enjoy every minute of it !!!

The fish are always right.
Ok someone tell me the best and least expensive place to get the tiger eye blanks. Thanks John
I wish you all everlasting flies and tight lines.
Bassman, my "research" shows anyone that carries them is within a buck or two of each other so pick your favorite or the one that carries the complementary components you want...haven't ordered one yet myself.
Betty.
I have already asked but when they arrive would you share your opinion of the tips on the Tiger eyes?
I do trust the first opinion I was offered but the more the merrier.
I am sick of whippy tipped rods and my next rod will be stiffer in the tip section allowing for easier pick-up of size 8-2 flies for Smallies.
I'm holding back........ but may be weakening!

I have no idea who carries them, but would like to find out. John
I wish you all everlasting flies and tight lines.
Can I do this here?

Thanks Betty, I appreciate the info. John

I can hardly wait for the Rod Porn, when Her Royal Majesty finishes one, or, both of her new rods!!
Obviously, they'll be beautifully built, but I'm very curious to see how "White Cheddar Cheeze-It" crumbs,are going to look, embedded under the gloss finish of the wraps!!?!
