| Rainshadow Swimbait rod..
For Homan. ISWB945 15-30lb stick. We built one of these a while back. It is a killer stick, though the biggest thing Phishy has caught on his is a 60lb batray..Homan just lost a rod to it getting pulled when his Spectra backlashed. Hopefully the PSS seat will keep that from happening again. Rod is going to have tiger underwraps on all the guides, which are ALPS XBXNLG? I think. Hopefully he'll like it and I can sneak on one of their SFR trips...

Capt G is an arty trend setter
The bag of threads in rod images is a ' mustdo ' ..........or he gets cranky.
( or is it just that he wants to know how much stock is coming his way down the track )

Almost done. Guides are on. Just tying off the main wrap then epoxy. I have had a few setbacks(of the pain,xray,mri type) slowing me down lately, but hope to have it done this weekend. Homan is a good fishermanwho fishes all the time on 3/4-5 day trips so this rod should get a lot od use..
