new rod's finished

<< < (3/3)

Stephen Polzin:
Unfortunately still haven't tried the new rod, apart from a few test casts off the beach.  It's been blowing over 15 knots consistently for the last two and a half months up here, with one or two short breaks thrown in.  Haven't been able to get out which has been driving me crazy 'cause the reef would be going off about now.

I was addicted to rod-building years ago but I had to stop. I was building rods I knew I'd never use but I found all sorts of excuses to convince myself I needed to do it. I got into all the fancy binding and actually, still have the books somewhere. I'm pretty sure I still have that very expensive Gudebrod thread lying around somewhere. The books cost me a mint - had to get them posted over from the USA which was a far more involved process pre-eBay and PAYPAL.

So what did I do? Went from making fishing rods to golf clubs. The equipment cost me far more than what the rod-making stuff ever did!!  ::)
