    Thanks all! I've got some hackle, chenille, and thread ordered from ebay & crazyangler, just to get started. I already have glue and a bunch of jig heads to practice on. I have some jigs that I already know are very effective I plan to model to start - a basic gray and a basic gold/chartreuse (that one also slays the trout in the 'hooch).

    I'd like to check out The Fish Hawk, they have a stellar rep locally, but it may as well be on the moon. I rarely go to Buckhead, or anywhere ITP. I hate going thru or around ATL when I travel to fish, but that I can stand, as I go very early while the city slickers, hippies, and thugs are still sleeping. I lived and went to school there, and played blues guitar in bands at every joint and dive that had blues in town for years. Still do sometimes, but I'd rather fish these days. Now, my daughter works near there, and can probably go pick up some stuff for me - there's an idea.

    I am reading my way thru this section of the forum. This place really is great.

    Be sure to post pics to complete your journey. Thinking about taking up this hobby myself. Just worried I might become an addict. My dad started building rods and now has a room dedicated to rod building. I can see this easily getting to that point for me.

    I don't think it's bad at all. But I have a friend that doesn't fish and her favorite saying to me when I tell her about the fish I caught is "and how much per lb did that cost you?" Lol. And then offers to take me out to eat seafood cheaper. She sweet about it but she's also right. I tell her she's like people that don't hunt, they just don't understand. Crazy part is she hunts lol.

    I think Grampa Bobs wife has taken to packing up the cut off pieces and sells them on ebay as the labels look alike. I’ll have to get the store name off my account.

    That's no doubt...I have some of this and some of that, plastic shoe boxes and where ever I can find a semi flat spot to put it...hopefully this rain will hold off a bit soon so I can clear out the shed and rearrange things so I can get my work bench back.

    You may as well build the addition now as you will need it this time next year.
