    He is good!

    I haven't mentioned it to Steve yet, but I wonder if he'd be able to build a tiny aquarium inside a rod butt? THAT would be REALLY COOL! I know, I know...how do you keep the fish alive? And I suppose the casting would make any fish seasick. But a guy can dream...

    Took me all day to make those signs Jim!

    A bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 was all it took to entice that motley crew.

    I bought my wife her first rod from him. He customize a 6', 2 wt with her name, a rose wood reel seat and pink thread for the guides. I assume the pink guides were to deter me from using her flyrod.

    If half the NFL can wear pink shoes for breast cancer awareness, I could darn sure fish with a flyrod with pink wrapping on it.
