Rod Auction - Fund Raising Rod Build

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Some of the members from RBF have gotten together and have generously decided to donate some custom built fly rods that are going to be auctioned off. 100% of the proceeds are going to funding the network of sites to keep us operational and to allow us to continue to create new features in the future.

I have never asked for a penny from the members and the moderators and myself spend countless hours working to bring you all the best fly fishing site that we can. Now is the time where you can show your support by bidding on these rods because these guys have put a lot of work into making these rods and they should be shown the appreciation they deserve.

The rods will be auctioned off seperately as they come in. First up for auction is a beauitful rod built by Gary Madore. You can see Gary's rod being built on this thread: http://www.rodbuildingforum.com/index.php?showtopic=6725

9 Foot 4 Weight on a Forcast blank
4 pc
comes with a custom sock
by Gary Madore

The bidding will start at $25 with increments of at least $10 per bid, please post a reply with your bid amount. Bidding will end the 15th at 9:00 PM EST

Hey Wil, is this a silent auction or do we post the bid amounts here?
When is the auction cutoff for the individual rods?

I filled up two shopping carts late last night
The one was full of fishing gear, the other newcastle ale
The checkout-lady laughed and said 'You think you got enough'
And I said 'Yeah, You're probably right', and filled another two carts up
Gonna catch all the fish, Gonna drink all the beer, Gonna head outta town, We're not staying here
Might take all day, might take all year, Till we catch all the fish, Till we drink all the beer
