Hello everyone....been looking at the rods and excellent craftmanship of the members here and am simply amazed at what some of you can do with your hands and tools. Have allways wanted a rod but never made the move . My skillset is too low and availability of cash and time have been an obsticle. Just excuses I know but I hope you dont mind if I watch and learn here . I love the old stuff , most any make or model. Thanks for letting me look over you shoulders. Kev.
