Just finished a Rainshadow IP965 early last week and it really came out great - Fuji Alconites, Forhan locking wraps, Threadmaster finiish, and a split handle grip - couldn't wait to show my brother his new Salmon rod. Sunday evening I wanted to double the distance I had used between the spool face and the butt guide in preparation for my next project, so I took it from where I've been safely keeping it.

Afterwards, my Old Timer's kicked in, forgot about the ceiling fan and proceeded to bend the 10, the 8L, and a 7 running guide over BACKWARDS. I was amazed at the minimal damage at the tunnel section at the back of the wrap. That Forhan locking wrap really works great - whoopee!

L O L i knocked many a fluresent tube out and the outside light is looking worse for ware too i got 100 foot of yard and light test cast there ... always seems to be that darned light that cops it never the window (LUCKILY)
quick tip
dont use rod bond to stick the ceiling fan back together

Tim - Way to go! ... You lucked out there, pal. My most recent repeats of such a stunt were last week. Once into the wooden table; one tick on the ceiling fan. Phew! -Cliff Hall+++

the hole count in my ceiling is up to 3....
