Big fan since 1980..... Privileged to have seen them live on a few occasions, damn they was loud!

You're killing it man. I do so love ice fishing but it's not a guaranteed thing down here in south end of the Province.

Well the handle on this build is now completely finished and the rod now moves into the guide winding queue. There's two rods at this time ahead of it. Busy, busy!

Oh Baby........ Six dozen Pickled Eggs and two liters of Pickled Spanish Onions is done! Has it been 2 weeks yet ....

MLG, 1979, second row red, center ice....and YES.....Purple Mic (or maybe Black Star Blotter?).

Today's shop tunes were all, how shall say....YES!

Getting there, slowly, my favourite speed. The rear grip and the reel seat have been glued onto the blank (a CTS Affinity Float 13' 3-6)..... The butt cap is finished and will get glued on before the day is over.... And the foregrip with wood insert is now a work in progress....

Right! ;)

It never gets old for me even though I do........

Boy when you go, you sure do go in style.

The customer was asking for Nickel Silver hardware on this build. I'm going to try and convince him to to go with the Champagne hardware. Thoughts?
