    Default It’s Done


    Finally took the time to put the finishing touches on the 4wt today. The tip wrap was an absolute bear for as simple as it was. The tip is 4mm and the flexing and no way to hold things was an adjustment. 3 or 4 tries before I didn’t hate what I saw. Put the warranty sticker on and all the coating to make it look pretty darn good to me. Not perfect but a sense of accomplishment goes with this.i just have an IPad so I have to look into how to post a video on this so I can give a good, focused showing of this. Maybe even get a fish on it on video if I’m lucky. Do I have to tell you where I’ll be Saturday morning. Thanks for following, and all the help and know how everyone has given along the way. Til Saturday........Skeet.

    Sorry, I fell down on the pics and stuff. Panfish section, the post is named “Visitors”. It tells the story and I can’t figure out how to post a video off of my I-Pad. There’s a couple of pics of the finished product. The windings at the bottom of the top three sections were tough, Otto of the top s cation took me 8 tries before I was happy with it.

    That was supposed to say bottom of the top section. Don’t know where that came from. It’s in the boat and I need to get it out and get the pics taken that I have promised. It performs wonderfully, and I just have to get used to it some more. Thanks for checking in.
