Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2016 The last two rods of 2016 are now done. Time to call it a wrap and enjoy Christmas and start working on rods for 2017 on Jan 2nd. The last order is a fitting end for the last rods of the year. Nothing too wild and flashy, just a nice matched pair of clean subtle classy rods for a good returning customer. One is a 7' 4wt and the other is a fast & light IM8 9' 8wt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2016 Pretty rods. But why did you take them to a golf course and shoot pictures of them on a sand trap? That IS white sand ... right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually it is ice building up on the kitchen counter. And it is only December...! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2016 I think this is the earliest we have had this much snow in many years than I can remember. Already about 10-12" on the ground, and supposed to get up to 7" more starting anytime now this evening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave G. 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2016 We have 1"-3" coming tonight, turning to rain, then it's going to be near 50 for a couple of days before we get cold again. Nice rods as usually, Steve > indeed a fitting end to the year of rod building !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lesg 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2016 Yes Mike, It is sand. Don't forget to bring your clubs when you come in Feb. Lots of world class golf courses in MI. Les Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2016 We actually do have some courses that have what they call "polar bear leagues" here Les. Guys golf in the snow with bright florescent orange golf balls. Which is in direct contrast to the golfer's freezing blue ba.....nevermind lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave G. 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2016 I wonder if that golf course is like the one in Jackman Maine, probably changes 200 ft in elevation throughout the course, looks like pasture land going up the side of a foot hill to Eagle Mountain, complete with shale/rock outcroppings. I look in amazement every time I go over that way ( we used to go over to the ice cream stand over that way, and to a good brookie pond, not golf).

islander727 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2016 Brr. Who makes that stripping guide? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2016 I recently started getting some guides from a supplier that imports the guide directly so they are not a brand that has been marketed under a known name before, but the style of them is almost identical to the FUJI MO series.
