They look great, but after looking through your website i guess you probably made them on your lunch break.
Nothing to a man of your talents.

You make Lovely rods

It's looking like the weather wont 'permit' this weekend I'm afraid Gary. Still, if we get away with it there may just be a slim possibility...I was on the lower river (Worsall) yesterday and it was quite low but a sickly colour (but the chub played ball).

Good luck and let us know how you get on with the floats.

Thanks Guys
These are the first one I made there cane stems with 3 flutes.

I think the wire stems will make them hopefully more stable and allow me to hold back more to slow the trott . That’s the idea anyway.
