You are crazy, you used high quality cork rings & preformed grips and splattered paint all over them? lol. Nice job, way to take junk and make it a treasure.

Everyone is making such a big deal about the bird flu yet Putteritis sweeps across the nation totally unchecked. Totally awesome Gerry. Also loved the last pen pic I saw. By the way My birthday is coming up too. What is the feather behind the Jungle Cock.. Really nice stuff Gerry.

Good feather work but I agree with Mark, looks like the sea gulls were feeding in your area.

Gerry,
Where do you find time to become so skilled at so many facets of rod building?
Better do it all now as you'll have troble finding it once retired. Great work as per usual.

Thanks guys, I'm overwhelmed. I didn't expect much repsonse at all to this since it's a bit old and I only really posted it because someone foolishly claimed that a grip like this is slippery, utter nonsense.
