Una mas por favor ...




this is the kind of work I really enjoy to do, this Shimano Trevala was sent to me from a friend to me to be restore it and put the colors and name of the boat of his father, his father passed away two years ago and my friend didnt wanted (couldnt) take the boat for a ride or use the fishing gear that belonged to his father because it was still "too hard to handle", but he finally settle everything down and cleaned the boat to use it this season and wanted me to restore this trevala rod that was the favorite rod of his Dad.

That is great work Alex. You did your friend proud. Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

     You have a eye for colors and theme for rod building .         I wish I could see that vision you have .  Thumbs up again...
