Title: Fishable Cradles
Post by: droppedit on March 30, 2017, 01:27:11 PM
Here are a couple of cradles I wrapped up for bullseye. 1st one is on a Fenwick blank and used old style Fuji triple foot guides. I added a new front cork grip and did the butt wrap as requested. I'm thinking this was on a 4/0 Senator but I could be wrong, it's a memory thing.

Another that I really don't remember what reel it is but was told to go for it on the wraps. Fuji Silicone Nitrade guides and a new front cork. Not sure about the blank but I'm sure John can tell you the details.

Very nice!  The cork grips are a nice touch.

top work on both rods, I still think cork grips, with overhead reels are the best, cheers don.
