A pattern from Billy's book

First guide on a jigging rod that I'm working on.

BMNAG guide wrapped using Madeira thread

Blank is a Ron Arra 1321 painted hot pink(it wasn't for me..lol)

First attempt at shading.

American Tackle CLB71M wrapped for an auction.

Same rod

Here's the butt wrap after.

I stripped this rod for a family friend, repainted and rewrapped it.

After seeing Joker's rod with this paint, I had to have it. It's Kameleon Kolor from Plasti-Kote. Goes from gold to green in different light and also comes in a few other combinations. I will definitly be painting a blank with this.

Finally got the butt wrap done on this rod. Anyone at my house in Nov. knows it's been awhile..lol Only four guides, CP, and epoxy to go. Should be done by 2006!

This is how I was taught by my father and he was taught by his father. Soon I'll use a fixed spool, but for now, the insanity is great.

Shortly after the photo was taken the razor took over. The spacing was way out of whack.

BSVLG 30 on the Lami that seems to be taking forever to finish

About a 13 pound striped bass

Think I need two more pieces of masking tape.

Guide wrap on a Fugi NLG30 for the Fenwick I'm rewrapping

First time trying the single thread trim bands. Got better at it on the guides.

Rewrapping a rod for a family friend. He didn't know what kind of blank it is, until I removed the old butt wrap and found the Fenwick logo. It's a SP847 Wish it was mine...lol Used size A Gudebrod #524 for the underwrap, and white, black, #6779, and #5896 size A for the chevrons
