I got several E-Mails asking to see the finished weave. So for those of you that are interested here it is. Not really a good composite but I'm still learning how to do that.

They're going to have to make the rating chart go higher than 10. That's just amazing.

I'm guessing that Jim will bring it to the Charlotte show since it was on a short section of rod blank. I hope he does anyway.

Yes, this one will be in Charlotte. Myles; I have no secrets. It's the way the pattern was developed incorporating the background (Wrapping thread) into the pattern. Not enough space here to explain.


I thank you all again for the comments.

Jim, I think everyone wanted to test your epoxy skills making you post a picture after it was applied. Looks like a lot of lefts & rights and this goes here, that goes there, turn blank 1/4 turn - oh no I made a mistake, lol.

Nicest weave I've ever seen bar none.


BTW, saw some of your dragons on my last fishing trip! Say hi to the Becks for me(lets hear it for the tweaker rods!)
