Does anyone have any photos of their rod dryers? Right now I use one that can only dry one rod at a time. I'm working on a bunch of ice rods and was thinking about doing all the epoxy at a time and drying 3 or 4 rods at a time. I've got some ideas on how to make it, but I wanted to see if anyone else has made anything. Anyone have any pictures?

Someone wants me to build him an ice rod to match one he already has. I know its G Loomis blank that he described as "a bit faster action with a good strong backbone". I am under the impression that G. Loomis blanks are no longer available but I'm wondering if you guys know of something that could fit this description. He uses it for panfish. I have a few ice rod blanks but t
