The Pitfalls of constructing my first fly rod handle...

Rod Builders,

I've amassed a variety of images on my Rod Blog. These sequence of views illuminate my progress so far. I've tried to keep all the images around 60 Kb's for those on a modem connection.

Have a look @

Ideas and advice are always welcomed.

That is great, thanks for sharing!!! I am on dial-up and it took quite awhile to load but it was well worth the wait.

That's very nice and a great idea marrying the reel seat into the grip. Quite impressive.
