No comment on blank choice Kemp but I'll state straight up, foam grips, way wrong! Split grips, again way wrong! Custom means not having to shave off a few dollars and cents to make it look like factory produced crap!

Give 'er!

Great Album... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNQAMY8UlOs

Oh my, be very careful and make sure someone is close by.....

Looks beautiful Lew and labour free, a real bonus for us old guys.

Well Live2fish85 (Chris) came by yesterday afternoon to apply the final coat of finish to his rod and it's now done. A job well done I must say for a first ever go at it. He hasn't seen the end results yet, well he has if he's reading this. I've no doubt he's itching to get out and break it in. Here you go Chris, congratulations, it has been fun.

The bigger and more important question is where you are planning on fishing is legal within the confines of open seasons for angling with respect to the potential species available.

I've noticed it since I came up from the shop 20 minutes ago and if it doesn't stop, well......

Awesome! Pepper steak is almost ready to pour over a bed of rice, the tunes playing as I often play, more so now than in my youth..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVrmwJbnK5w&feature=related

Surf's up!

UPS is bar none the worst and most costly when ordering stuff and the only one's who've damaged blanks for me.

This ^ is correct.

Agreed, nicely done Sir.

Seems like a win-win situation for lodge owners and clients to me Kevin, all things considered this is truly a non issue no brainer. But then again you're dealing with the MNR....... I'm also pleased to hear that you'll be open for business this spring.

Good stuff Rick. I'm itching to get up there but given that I have limited opportunities I'm going to wait for safe ice over deep water.

Did you try Ernie?

Taken about an hour ago just before Chris put the epoxy winding finish on the tip section of his new rod.

Wow, I'm truly impressed with the off the cuff (quick) ideas. Great stuff guys, very creative.

Hahahaha, you're way to witty my friend.

My biggest ice Lakers over the years (decades) have consistently fallen to an extremely aggressive jigged 6" Willams Whitefish spoon (silver). Not necessarily jigged anywhere near bottom.......

I would concur. I didn't have internet or tutelage when I was self learning, might have saved time but in the end experience is the best tool. If you can't find help there or other sites shoot me a PM and I'll help best I can.
