Mike Fischer from HOF just completed two custom made rods for me and they are masterpieces. Both of course are panfish outfits. The first one, an eight foot 3 weight two piece closed faced spinning bait casting type rod. The handle is that of the old pistol grip, however, this one was hand craved out of some very beautiful wood. The wrap is a piece of art. Will put a Diawa Gold Cast closed faced spinning reel on in, spooled with 4 pound test. Very attractive combination to say the least.
The second rod is also a 3 weight, two piece, however this is nine foot long. Wooden handle of course and Mike put a gold coin in the butt end of the handle. Elected to go with a conservative wrap on this rod, so I wouldn’t be afraid to use it, for fear of breaking it. Yet, still an sharp looking outfit. Putting an Okuma Metaloid 15 on it also spooled with four pound test. Mike thank you again for the beautiful works of art. Now I am ready, comeon open water and warmer days.
