Wow! That is one beautiful rod. I thought the headline “Go Blue” was referring to Penn State. HA! Ha!
How do you like the Forecast blanks and what action are they?
Bruce
Forecast blanks are pretty decent for the price. They are a Mod/fast rated blank which is a pretty accurate descrip, more mod with a decent crispness to them.

Add a few wraps of red … replace the Michigan with a little JAYHAWK … and you got yourself quite the rod!! Just teasing … that is a beautiful, beautiful rod! Plus, my Dad was an alum of Michigan. He’d of loved it!
Me too Betty, another Go Blue!
Only because they sign my paycheck!

Hail! to the victors valiant

Very nice and clean. Love the cork ! Where did you get the “Michigan” decal from…make it yourself???
Hi David, yep I make my own decals on an Alps 2300MD printer and print them on waterslide paper.
