Well peeps think I've gone a bit loopy de loop still haven't finished the Jumpus Man stick yet & started a new one.
1st time on a rod for ages gamefish wise I loved that 24kg bent butt I was using it was one of Ian Millers rods & hats off to the guy he knows how to build a rod. It was a beautifull stick & a pleasure to use those on board commented how I made it lookso easy fighting the fish & that's where good tackle makes all the difference. Anyways I was up late last night glueing on the leather grip I'll trim it back shortly & get down to the buisness of starting the bindings a bit of a copy cat rod moreor less I'm imitating the Miller Rod & 1st time I'm actually building a rod that's so short. Blank itself is only about 4 ft long I'll be using aftco black & gold rollers + a Aftco short bent butt I'll add pics as rod progress's & here's one to start off with ![]() -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

That Ian Miller was worth $1 ,600 some 15 years ago bob
But I'll tell you what he builds a nice rod ps] I bypassed buying the leather grip from a fishing tackle accessories place way to expensive. I went down to a leather joint down the road & got a doz made up @ $5 each -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Frank I call them eagles !
But yep it's a relatively simply design to wrap & I thought I'd keep the gamesticks a uniform matching set. salty I have to really be in the mood to sit down & build up a rod, Last couple of trips out have put me in the mood ![]() Rumpus couldn't tell you exept that they're imported in by viva, they dont do a great deal of sales on blanks & I found a real good stash of them hidden up on some shelves. Grabbed a few liked the action & that's what they are, hopefully they'll see some action on the weekend & I can post some pics of them loaded up on a fush or 2 -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

I've mentioned a couple of times that I had a brain explosion resulting in me building up 4 off rods for each line class for the boat.
Rather than starting a new thread thought I'd add pics here On the left the 2 new 15 kg sticks to complete the set then the 24 kg's & the 37 kg's sticks Ummm another brain explosion has got me me building a new 6 kg bait rod for the NTM 60 & 1st rod on left is a 2 kg spin stick ![]() ![]() -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
