Guest Butters Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Have been feeling a little bit creative lately and thought i might make up a few of my own rods.. Just for something different on my latest surf rod i'm building i thought i would do a wrap under the first eye as the underbind.. Came up ok... but hey its my 3rd rod ;D http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/fQawpVd2__spider1.JPG[/img] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/DGAcBpYT__spider2.JPG[/img] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/fTtuZptQ__spider.JPG[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coonta kinta 1 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Butters for a beginner work work looks very professional. Top job! Of all the rods I built when I was younger, I NEVER attempted anything so intricate. I'm envious!Nicely done indeed. I'm sure you already know the feeling of catching good fish on sticks you made yourself, but I think this one will be even better.Care to give us some details on the blank, what ya building it up for and what fittings etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Butters Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 cheers for the kind words Ck.. The blank is a old surf rod stripped down and i'm rebuilding, so i'm not sure of the brand.. but 12ft.. 4-6kg.. all fuji components.. matching with a new Daiwa Heartland 4000.. cant wait to blood it for the first time on a nice salmon..

Brooksey_134 1 Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 hey that looks WIKED butters!! hav you thought about trying something like a mullie or shark on a surf rod?? or would that be too hard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Butters Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 haha- yobbo my eyes still hurt from this little one.. brooksey.. I can do a little fish with the cross wrap, but the other fish styles threads are different and a heap harder.. but show better details and shape. I might give one a go one day..
