Wow! What a great ride it has been for me in the last 45 days. All I have to say is Gary & Susan Loomis are incredible people. I have enjoyed working side by side with them as I learning from two masters of this great craft.

I am not employed by NFC or by the Loomis. I am there as guest and they are teaching me without any exchange of compensations. I am the luckiest person on earth.

This next rod are bits and pieces of whatever I had left over that's laying around. I was inspired by Susan Loomis by her statement to me the other day. "I waste nothing. I am a very frugal person... it all come out at the bottom line in this business."

Trust me, Susan is extremely smart and she is NOT cheap.

I'll test casted this setup paired with an Ambassadeur 6500 Blue Yonder CT the other day and handled 8 oz with no problem. I easily tossed 100 yards plus.

Thanks for looking.

Wow, very nice.  Are you getting into the custom rod business?
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

Yes , but have not made a penny yet.  Still building up inventory.  Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks K.  I currently live about 20 minutes from Alan.  So, I'm on the same rock as you.  ;D

Angler's Workshop is a great retailer, wholesaler and distributor.  I used them when I was located in Hawaii and when I was still wrapping here in California.  Unfortunately, California taxes to operate a business made is cost prohibitive for my small operation.

But will take you up on the offer if and when I decide to get back into the business.

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.
