Well I'd started the completed stick months ago just never got around to finishing it.

I have 2B in the mood to build up a rod & it took me 2 days just to put 6 guides on after all the underbinds & design were completed all those months ago

Anyways rod has been completed exept for glueing on the tip & popping on the butt. it's a 10 kg graphite to be used out in the deeper water.

Just about to bind the guides onto the unfinished rod, a much heavier rod in regards to weight as it's a glass blank a composite blank but a lighter blank in regards to line class a very nice 8 kg stick.

Well looking forward to getting out & using both off them on some big snapper, bother rods will be complememented with one of those new Metalim NM60 Dual Drag reels

sneak preview

Now all you need to do is take me out to where the snapper are, and I can take a few pics, take a few snapper and take whatever else I can lay my hands on

kkw, You told me you have passed your used by date on Jumpy fishing sojorn's Getting itchy feet??


The rods look great Jumpus

Looking good.


We know that these are the Jumpy rods as these have the loooonnnggg butts.

Signed, Sealed [not salty] & spooled up ready to give them a workout.

All I need now is for the wind to stop blowing

Just get some snapper Jumpus... Enough about these winds.

Yeah well you don't have to work with Majed.

Some smart looking rods there JG, I reckon they'd even bee smart enough to stay away from Christos's butt

Everyone does stay away. It is called backdraft.

Wasn't that a movie in which some people got burnt?

Wasn't that the movie bout yanks with lighters sitting round a camp fire eating beans......Ohh that was blazing saddles!
