Actually we only have one "Mod" on the forum. I'll see if anyone can figure it out....?

As a guy who named his dog after those beauties all I can say is .....

Stellar!

I love ice fishing for steelies.

Sweet fish'n guys.

Many thanks to be said. Thanks to Chris for having us, thanks to Cliff for the post and of course thank to MJL for the minute by minute photos. Here's another one MJL took of me fishing in the cold morning on a misty river. A great weekend guys.

Indeed a shame Doug, my condolences to you and your family.

Thanks for the heads up Steve. Mine is a little older. A 06, 75 horse model and I'll be sure to check it before it goes out again.

Jealous....uh, yes! Nicely done!

Another one from this morning in true "Solopaddler" design. It's becoming very popular Mike.

Thanks guys. To note it's not on the rod yet, just loosely assembled on a steel turning mandrel. When installed on the blank the reel seat and butt cap will be dead center in relation to the cork handle.

Or never will. Nice going on your success Pangle!

Great picture , not sure there are many of them floating around from trail cams.

I said "cap".....

Good eye Bill, yes Ernie did do the seat, I did the matching butt cap. Thanks Phil.

Just finished this a few minutes ago, totally fishing related though not a lure.

Best suggestion..... Open the crack larger, flood the basement and stock it with fish.

Wow, a nearly two year old post from my cousin brought back to life and TEP is even in there. You two still alive?

No problem Sir, you're still younger than I.

Oh yes, the big "51," have a great day Bud.

Just say when Geoff. As for the wood work, I can't take credit for the design, that belongs to a friend of mine.

Thanks Paul, appreciate it. Lot's of my rod pictures have floated around the board over the years and a few are available in the "Members Business Directory."

Hopefully I'll have it perfected at that time Roy. Just to note the front reel foot hood on these type of seats is hidden beneath the cork like this.....
