Hey Fellas,,
Thanks for the comments and visiting my site!!

I'll tell you,, from my point of view,, it's a lot easier to fix reels than build tutorials,, !!! LOL
My hats off to those that do them regularly!! I think my web guy wanted to fire ME after this one..

I'll try and get a few pictures of the custom rods I build posted here soon..
Thanks again..
Greg
