Looks great Terry!!! I want to see more of it!! What's the story on the scrimshaw? Is that antler, bone, ivory???

Terry Goode · Guru

its Elk horn, i use to do some scrimshaw way back when but i'd guess that was in the 60's or so.
the wifes uncle was a guide on Mount Saint Helen's and he sent me a full rack (that was when i was making knives ) and before it blew.

i had seen Terry Henson's rods with his version of the may-flys and the light bulb went on and i said HA! something i can do thats different then the beginner stuff i had been doing.

besides there is no way i could ever do a weave or wraps like some of you guys do.

hahah, its been a trip for sure, now lets hope i dont screw up the final coat on the rod eyes .

Nuttin to laugh about on that dryer set-up Terry. I'd say well done!

Terry Goode · Guru

well i tested the scrimshaw rod (ya i decided to name "her" that, hahah) today and all i can say is it casts like a dream ( no weight, a 1 ft 40lb mono, and 2 small hooks and half a med size shrimp of each hook) i'd say 75 ft easy.

its got good back bone and tip action, nothing great but about 25 or so 1 to 2 lb crokers, 2, 3lb drum.

its now gona be my go to rod, problem is a no name brand from FTU.

one happy puppy anyway.
