Title: NOT A CALL BUT I USED A FEW!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Post by: amudge on December 16, 2015, 10:01:46 PM

WELL, I WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE ONE NIGHT AND HAD SOME COUGH SYRUP! DECIDED I WAS GOING TO MAKE A FISHING ROD WITH A FEW CALLS ON IT! I'M FROM THE GULF COAST AND LOVE TO CATCH REDS! SO I CALLED UP A FRIEND WHO IS BIG INTO THE ROD BUILDING. I TOLD HIM MY IDEA AND HE WAS PUMPED TO GET INVOLVED IN HELPING ME MAKE IT HAPPEN! I CHOSE SOME WICKED COLORS AND ROD EYES ETC...I WENT WITH A 7'3 MED HEAVY WITH A ALPS DOUBLE TRIGGER REAL SEAT. SOME MARBLING AND THREAD WORK AND SOME CHROME EYES TO HELP DRAW OUT THE COLORS. I MADE A 1 PIECE REPLICA CALL ON THE LATHE AND DRILLED IT TO FIT SNUG ON THE ROD. SEATED IT AND THEN MADE THE GRIPS!! CREDIT IS HIGHLY DUE TO MY FRIEND JACOB AT SALATAN RODS IN OKC! IF YOU WANT HIS INFO SEND ME A MESSAGE! BUT BACK ON TOPIC IS THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE ROD FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS NOW AND I FINALLY GOT IT IN MY HANDS! I HAVE MOVED A FEW DUCK MOUNTS OVER AND HUNG THIS UP IN THERE PLACE! NOW IM TOO SCARED TO FISH WITH IT!!!!
