He sure did not waste any time getting this project underway. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Just recieved the new reel yesterday to go on it! Thanks again for getting this project moving so quickly

Your St.Croix blank was shipped yesterday according to Harv. The mad scientist will soon be working on your extra long rod.

8 1/2 ft. blank extended to 9'7"....this will be the longest/heaviest ICE rod I've ever built


7' 3wt fly rod & 8'5wt. 4 pc fly rod now in the works too,and one tear-down & re-build spinning rod. Nice start to the rodbuilding season..thanks!

[Red Childress]

Should fit Jason nicely. He sure isn't going to be too short for this masterpiece!

Hey Harv,

Did you see (in the post above) that I had used the shrink tubing (for both Big Nasty's) on those balancers instead of building the weights into the rod butt? Thought you might want to know......

Yeh, Red, saw that..I also now stock a new color tubing..red/black


Jason's blank is here (and another $800 worth of rodbuilding stuff- one order/ year must be over $600)..
Time to kick in the after-burners on the rod lathe...I got rods to do
