rstraight, that may end up being me. I doubt it, though. I do have a 5wt Cabella's rod and reel that I've yet to get set up. I'll get it out there one of these days.
fshng2, I've caught fish on things I've made, sort of. Basic Crappie rigs, simple spinners, etc. It's pretty awesome, for sure. Over time, I'll be making more and more jigs, lures, flies, etc.
