War of the Flys - Gon Fishn Entry

Pictures are posted for Gon Fishns' entry to the "War of the Flys" A declaration of hostility was posted by the infamous Jesse (Cash) Buky yesterday. The following is the text of a Warranty Certificate that was transferred to the Princess at the request of my customer. Some builders have a lot of different motives when at work.

Certificate:

Royal Scepter For the Princess Of False River

This custom Ultra Light Multi Purpose Scepter was designed and commissioned by Jerry and Jeremiah ( J and JJ ) for the personal and exclusive use by the "Princess of False River". The use of this Royal Scepter will ease the burden of performing a number of activities in and around the royal Castle On The River. This "One of a Kind" device is intended to reduce the amount of energy expended by the Princess, during her valued leisure hours, far - far away from the pressures of the business world. All construction techniques were applied to keep the weight of the Scepter to an absolute minimum to insure the Princess would not expend much effort when performing royal leisure activities.

This colorful all purpose device includes attachments required to swat and destroy disease bearing flies and mosquitoes at long range, prod Gage into activity from his daily deep slumber, tan JJ's behind if needed, direct J's activities as a willing servant, properly place blame by pointing a finger at the guilty and to catch a fish from the pier for the evening meal from her cherished River of False. This Royal Scepter features the Princess' favorite colors of royal blue and hot pink along with the Official Signature Seal of the Princess of False River. The family member Crest and logo graphically illustrates the eventual supremacy of the Princess, in an around the Royal Castle, on the River of False.

The following details describe the rod action and components utilized. The Rainshadow SP 721, a 43 Million Modulus RX-7 blank is built by Batson Industries in Sequim, Washington. The 5-foot Ultra Light is designed for kicking butt and taking names on the banks of the Princess's fresh water haven.

Model Length Piece Line Wt Lure Wt Butt Tip Action Power
SP721 5' 1 2 - 6 # 1/32 - 1/4 .282 4.5 Fast Lt
Attach A NA 1 Nylon Swatter West Nile Version
Attach B Butt Paste Tanning Prep For JJ
Attach C LSU Baton Direct J's Activities
Add Tip 1 Holographic Gage Prodder (Dog)
Add 2 1 Asian Finger Nail Activities Director

The rod blank is finished in gloss green. The builder placed the spine of the rod on the top centerline. The Size 16 Natural Rose Wood Polished Spinning Reel Seat was installed using U-40 Rod Bond Epoxy Adhesive and internal graphite bushings. This process insures maximum "hand feel" when detecting light fish bite and state of JJs' Flesh. The four nine inch Grade A rear cork grip, one inch fore grip and winding check were hand fitted and installed using U-40 Rod Bond. This ergonomic design was required by J to insure that the Princess would not tire when performing slight physical activity. The placement of the guides was determined by placement and testing prior to wrapping. The Fuji guides are Titanium Coated Stainless Steel Frames with Hardloy Rings. The Lord of the Rings Holographic Tip Top will catch Gage's eye as it approaches and will cause him to jump to attention immediately.

All guides were wrapped with A Guidebod Cobalt Blue Nylon thread with a Hot Pink trim wrap. Five security wraps were extended past each single foot guide to prevent pulling loose during normal wear and tear of transport and storage. The decorator butt wrap features Royal Blue, Hot Pink and a Silver Metallic trim. Decal Connection provided the waterslide decals using the approved name logo of the Princess of False River. The rod was finished with four coats of Flex Coat Lite Epoxy finish. Please keep this certificate in a place where it can be located if you should require warranty repair or additional labor saving attachments.

We hope the Princess enjoys prodding the dog, keeping JJ straight, directing J, swatting pests, placing blame and putting fresh fish on the table.

Enjoy Dear Princess - Those who still work!

J and JJ - "AKA" Jerry and Jeremia

Ok Jesse I am waiting patiently for you next salvo of this sure to be ongoing skirmish!

Bill, There is not enough hours in my day to come up with an answer to that. I will try to get Pat [the owner of the Real Fly Rod] to take some pictures of it and send them to you and you can post them. Jesse
