skeet3t 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2021 Steve, you are cranking out a lot of rods. I like the subtle color of the blank. I got a request for a pink blank but it was waaay out of his budget. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2021 Yeah it's been a crazy busy year bud. Been in business for 19 yrs this year, and I just added up last week, up to 87 rods so far for this year and still 9 more orders on the board, plus 2 more months left in the year. I don't get mad at money, but I have zero free time lately. I've been working in the shop 10hrs per day 7 days week, seriously. I use to get some pink blanks from a place for a decent price. I can't remember where it was now. I'll tryin think/look and let ya know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are saying they are the bass capitol of the US. One tourney had 500 entries; had to split them up between Dayton and Harrison Bay SP. Anyway, this was a niche I found but turned it down as it would be full time. Didn't retire to go back to work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
