Cool crappie wrangler. One day I'll be able to get a copy of those too. But in the mean time I'll keep plugging away at what I'm doing. I am only doing it for something to do. I moved up here to Missouri Last January and really wasn't ready for the cold winter I came into. I had plenty to do getting settled in, but this winter I will be working on fishing gear and getting things ready for my boat come spring.
Down where I was in Florida, we had a bit of cold winter too, up in the north west part between Tallahassee and Pensacola. But the worst only lasted for a week or two, then it started to gradually warm back up. Here it was a lot longer. with my baby back to work now and gone for a couple weeks at a time, I'll need something to occupy my time, or go stir crazy. What better way to do that than refresh my rods and gain a couple really nice ones to boot. So once I have the boat pretty much finished, ( still have to put the flotation foam under the seat benches, and secure the seat bench tops them selves, then attach the front deck I made, install some lights for those night runs of fishing, I'll be ordering some of those MHX 2pc 9' fly rod blanks and necessary hardware to put them together. I really would like a couple of them and a couple of the 7' Cherrywood med./light spinning rods. Of coarse I'll rewrap them to match what i'll be doing with the 9 footers. bu t that's my plan any way. Eric, AKA "jamesdean".
