My good deed for the year

[Midwest Custom Fly Rods]

Here's a little bamboo I just finished up. It's a 7'9" 4wt with classic twist orange/blk thread and a red agate.

I don't know how I got rooked into doing the wrapping on this rodbecause I won't be the one using it, or even get paid for doing it lol. It's actually a Christmas gift for the brother of a friend of a friend. He contracted my friend to build the blank and somehow I ended up being the one wrapping itawe well, my good deed for the year is done so now at least someone will have a Merry Christmas this year

I like the classic twist with the agate stripper. Looks good with the 'boo, too.

You're trying to make us believe this is the only good deed you've done this year?? Horse hockey!! We know better than that!! This may be a good deed, it may be your latest, but certainly not your only!! Thank you for being an inspiration to each of us.

That's a good looking job on the wraps, and one purty stick to go chase fishies with.

P.S. One big surprise on this thread - no oooohing and aaaahing by Betty about the DOWNLOCKING REEL SEAT.

Betty,

Are you feeling OK?

I just find it difficult to type with slobber all over the keys. It's a beauty!!
