Fantastic as always.

Aplumma and Daplumma are plumbers and I'm sure will help you as soon as they see this post.

Still voting.

ZING......

I'm thinking Beagle......

For a living, no! It's been a 35 year hobby that has turned into a near full time job lately. I'm pretty busy right now but we can certainly discuss it further after the new year if you're interested.

You're welcome.

Might be a good place to start...... http://www.wilsonsto...09/Default.aspx

You're getting pretty good with that camera Miss Joey Mrs. Tybo. Too bad the muskies didn't show, I'm sure you'll get 'em next time.

Your a mean man Mr. Ugli.

Done! I will cast my remaining 9 votes as permitted.

He's good to go now.

True, you could go with lower cost guides, prefab handle and no Stuble hardware and bring the cost down by a few hundred.

Sure do.

That's not helping me any Bruce..... LOL

Exactly.

Suddenly I have a craving for a perch and egg breakfast.

Thanks again everyone, most kind. I don't know much about the blank other than CTS' are available through John Collina at jccustomtackle.com in Caledonia. He designed the CTS line of Float Rod blanks for local steelheaders and they are getting great reviews from those using them. Well prices can vary depending on components used but would likely run about $700.00.

The catfish is the one with the whiskers, right?

Wow, sucks to be you...... No pictures from when Bill was there?

Like the others I'm happy you're on the mend John and finally able to get back on here for some friendly banter.

Certainly do Rick, I have a few tip sections laying around here that might fit the bill. What are you targeting?

Free time.....LOL I used to have free time until Solopaddler found out I built rods. Thanks for the compliments and I'm pleased that you're happy with the work Mike. You'll also be happy to know the bottom section off the 13' you dropped off yesterday for stripping and rewinding is already spinning with the finish on, you're gonna be ecstatic.

"I used to fish....." So did I Mr. Curtis, but it wasn't a women who slowed me down, shame on you. Welcome back!

LOL....I've been called a lot of things Joe but "wise" is a new one for me..... But I do stand firmly behind the quoted comment.....
