Spiel Posted March 31, 2012 Report Posted March 31, 2012 Keeping busy in the rod shop for some of our members so I thought I'd share a few pictures. First a Sage fly rod for Ctranter.... The completed handle for Floatman55 A quick look at the reel seat for the rod I'll be guiding tomorrow, heading to Troutguy upon completion. And another handle shot for Misfish's new steelie rod.
mercman Posted March 31, 2012 Report Posted March 31, 2012 Truly fine work Chris! You are a skilled artist, there is no doubt.Love the detail in the the first pic. Awesome Chris!
Spiel Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Posted March 31, 2012 Truly fine work Chris! You are a skilled artist, there is no doubt.Love the detail in the the first pic. Awesome Chris! Thanks Paul. But I can't take credit for the custom handle on that one, I merely fit and installed it. I believe the guy Ctranter commisioned for the handle is out in Alaska.

The choice of wood and metal hardware were a particularly good choice on your part! It all looks oddly familiar.

Spiel Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Posted April 3, 2012 I love tying rods up and have made what I thought were some dang nice ones but yours are miles ahead of mine - true art!!!! WOW! Thanks Landry. I'm sure your rods are just fine and I can assure you that my first rods 37 years ago weren't all that pretty but they were functional and I was proud of them. Truth is after all these years I'm still improving and refining my work with every rod. Really nice work there!! Thank you Josh. Spiel....one of these days I will place an order for a Spiel Custom rod! I'm always amazed at your work! You know where to find me Cliff.
