Islandbass-I use my chin-up bar as coat rack

Good one! I took mine down. I can do about 2 chin ups if you count the first one with a slight jump to assist with the first one. Maybe I'll put it back up to hang up some lures drying with DEV CON 2T.

IB- HA! thats exactly how many I did last night...2...The first one with a jump assistment as well.
I was telling my wife that I still got it...Yea right.
I was doing the P90X program a few months ago...(Intense/great program) Then life got in the way,and all my hard work got covered up with fat and laziness again

,lol.

No worries, WJ. It's what I have been told is called, "Livin' Large."

Looks great, waffle! Nice job!

Man that Rod looks nice man. Let us know how good it is when you get to try it out.

I will dig out my Rodbuilders edition with the epoxy process and post it or you can find it on http://rodbuilding.org
Look in "libraries" and you will see the article on Better Epoxy and some other great articles including building inexpensive rod wrappers http://www.rodbuilding.org/library/library.html
The surgeon general has warned about rodbuilding addition. that's why I have my treadmill right next to my wrapping gear.

Man that’s cool making your own rod. I don’t know if I would have the patience for that. The color combos on your is perfect and you can’t go wrong with a 10”. Kudos.

Update:
Thanks again for the comments guys,
I finally got to take her out last night for an hour (before night fell)...Along with my new Revo S that I paired it with....So two new toys

The rod cast beautifully....Smooth and accurate,felt great in the hands.The fast tip allowed me to cast my 1/4 ounce t-rig worm on 17 mono pretty damn far.
The control was awesome,far more easier and less power to achieve targeting,pitching,and presentation....Im loving it.
The IM6 rod seems to be pretty sturdy as well..Of course,as always,I sank the hook into a submerged log and set the hook..I didnt treat the rod any differently trying to free it up.I also found that was a great time to set my drag on the Revo S,lol....which I love too,by the way!
Great reel!!
