Just a pic of one of my native blanks, native reel and one of my custom tubes. The rod was made by one of my customers for his little boy, (that's what its all about!) He did a great job customizing the reel and grip.

I custom make my own tubes, and draw everything by hand with an old dip and ink pen. I torch,burn, and paint the tubes to get that classic cane look. I put his son's name on the tube for him and sketched a trout and mayfly. To be honest, it takes a little while to draw the tubes, and I should maybe charge more, but for now I am keeping it the same because its times like these and hearing from parents and getting their kids involved is what I truly enjoy. I am currently making another custom tube for his other son now

I thought this was a nice build and great little package for him.

Cheers

hope some of you are warm, with the weather. Geeze 19 inches of snow here in the mtns of PA and another foot tonight. Ready for spring!

Awesome job on the rod and tube. Keep pic's coming.

Very cool tube!

Nice!
