Tom,
I want to Thank You for introducing me to rod building. In 2001, I had a bunch of questions regarding rod building and you graciously sent me a copy of your Rod-Building Guide, which I still reference to this day. You even autographed it! Your book inspired me to build a surf rod capable of casting large Krocadyle spoons long distances to hungry striped bass and bluefish in the Maryland surf. That rod was an All Star 1265-2 spinning rod (commonly known as the "Spanish Buster" rod) which I still use to this date. As of today, I have built one rod over the Winter months for the last 16 years. Whether it be a fly, surf, jetty, or bass rod. As I begin this Winter's project - a Lamiglass SI Steelhead rod, I look back at all the encouragent you provided me. Thanks again for everything Ron Beloff Re: Thanks Tom!

First time post, long time follower. I too would like to give thanks to Tom for what you have done in the rod building community. I have learned far more than I would have imagined when I started building rods, mostly due to this forum, your book and magazine. Due to this passion I've acquired for rod building I've made this into a business. I have my plans set to be at the Expo and my hope is, at the very least, is to shake your hand and personally thank you. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
