Spiel Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 ....Well I have not been around much but what has been keeping me busy is fishing related.... I'm in various stages of work on a dozen rods with another six more to pick up! Got to get my butt in gear and finish these so I can find time to get out fishing.

trapshooter Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) They look awesome. What blanks did you work with Chris? Edited March 30, 2007 by trapshooter
Spiel Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Posted March 30, 2007 ....Thanks everyone. Joey, I have to make time for work as it pays the bills it's sleep that I'm generally unable to find time for. Trapshooter those are a mix of Frontier and Loomis blanks. TJ, you wanted a rod? Thanks Brian, not sure I'll find the time though?
fishdawg Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 looks good Chris have the riggers been installed yet??
Spiel Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Posted March 30, 2007 ....Ah no, not yet Mark. Won't take me long though once I get a day off with decent weather.
lew Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Awesome job as usual Chris, I'm always very impressed with the work you do !!
GbayGiant Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 They look awesome spiel. Do you make rods for any species ? musky, walleye rods ? and do you turn any wood handles or all cork ? Just for future reference. lol. I had a guy in MN make me a couple Loomis walleye rods with red cedar handles the wood really adds to the sensitivity and looks amazing too and it ended up weighing about 1 ounce more than the cork would have so the weight is no big deal. And he built them for cheaper than the retail versions ? don't know how he did that, but they are my favorite rods by far. Just wondering encase I need some more rods one day, I'd rather stay in Canada.
Spiel Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Posted March 30, 2007 ....Thanks again everyone. GB I'll get back to you on your questions, busy, busy, busy! Oh and YES Kirk one of those is yours.
wuchikubo Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Awesome job Spiel! I haven't started on my first yet, but that gives me some motivation! Stan
Rich Clemens Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Some mighty fine lookin' rods there my friend.
irishfield Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Love the green one on the right! That for me? LOL Here's another one of Spiel's pieces of art....
Roy Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 And here's the best muskie rod I own. Spiel made it for me. It's a 7'7" G Loomis blank.
Bernie Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 Spiel, those are magnificent!! Would really love to be able to do that. Dug an old lightning rod up to practice on. Too close to summer to get into it now but will be next winters project.
Daplumma Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 Is one of those mine????And is another one for my brudder??Looks great bud,been sorta wondering where you were. Joe
Whopper Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 Well done Chris! I have seen two of the rods that you have done and both were a worksof art. Whopper

Its not about how many fish you put in the boat, but how you look doing it! LOL... Enjoy the new rods guys! Gerritt. Edited March 31, 2007 by Gerritt
crappiesteve Posted March 31, 2007 Report Posted March 31, 2007 Chris,that is some awesome work bud, Those wraps sure do take a lot of time to do,no wonder you have a sore back,leanning over the rods for so long at a time .By the way I saw Dougs, you made for him,nice.
