Cool stuff. I don't make rods, but I still enjoy seeing how it's done.

That frog rod rocks! I had a chance to fish it recently. If anyone is in the market for a custom frog, rod you will not be disappointed!

I really like a good custom rod. But a frog rod is not necesarily my first choice for a custom build. I have fished frogs well with a pool cue. with enough power and rod will work for frogs.

That being said I would like to try that rod out. cool build.

Cool build for sure.

Good to see you posting again. I hope you and Debbie are both doing well. You finding any time to get some fishing in?

Good to see you around Zip.

A good custom frog rod has more to do with balance and effortless casting than with the ability to horse a biggun out of the slop.
