Re: Dream rod
Ya know the rod that has been on TV with the trigger that shoots your lure out?something along those lines that could launch a cig a couple hundred feet with a hard wind in your face.

Re: Dream rod
[size=12pt]Sorry Wilson, I guess I quit readin’ at dream rod!
On the serious side; I would consult with our resident expert rod builders about a custom fishing rod.
OK, I’m done with serious for the day.

Re: Dream rod
A true old school rod. Probably a roddy or old brown fenwick with mildrum guides and a plain fuji reelseat. The real kicker would be having it built by the one builder that I look up to and respect more than any of the others. He has helped me more than any other person in learning the skills, and for that I am extremely thankful.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
