LSU - Football - Bowl Game What else could a rod builder ask for? Medication for Purple and Gold nightmares!

National Champ Football Five Time Omaha CWS Champ Thinking about changing colors to red and white! Dog lesson hurt business big time!

This guy thought this was a trout and made the custom rod a two piecer when he tried to swing it in the boat!! Another Rainshadow blank that I will have to eat!! And on top of that the idiot asked me if the "yellowfin" was good to eat! Another day another $ 100 bucks lost! Gon Fishn

Cajun schoolie caught by Capt Bill in Main Pass Area. She went 7#4oz. Did not catch any good ones today! Eat your heart out Texacans and Gators!

Picture taken Tuesday Morning while headed out one of the roseau cane passes from the Mississippi River to the Main Pass Area of the Gulf of Mexico. This cut produced the winning string of bass for the Bass Masters Classic of 2003.

Purple Nylon thread underwrap - Finish base clear with green and gold swirleys. It is fun too. This effort is to reverse Jesse's power over the 12 thread wrap.

Rodbuilding Equipment. Note the ends of the plastic milk crate I use for V Blocks

Five Gallon Bucket with plastic cutout insert for blank and rod storage. Put a cloth lined brick in the botton to keep from tipping. One bucket will store aproximately 40 inshore popping rods. Write on each slot and you do not have to go through a stack of blanks to get the right one. Use a velcro tye to tee pee rods. Saw this at Allstar Rod Factory in Houston - Thanks Sharon for the idea!

Picture of gizmos for a rodbuilder who got started before seeing any books on how it is supposed to be done. Each has a place - the long green thing with a small loop in the end is an ear wax removal tool that is used to tie narrow trim bands.

Just completed a rod for a returning veteran from Iraq. His family desired to highlight his service with a fishing rod gift. Thanks to Tom Kirkman and Billy V for the ideas of the chevron.
