Nice pictures and fish there mate.

It's interesting the resurgence of the glass rods again.
I remember the clunky old glass rods when I first started out and couldn't believe the difference graphite made when they were first introduced.

There are some beautifully made custom glass rods that are all the rage at present.
I love that butterscotch colour.

Nice mate

Thanks Dogto0th,
Yes it seems glass is alive and kicking again ...
This new , so called fast glass , is completely new animal comparing to our Father's fibreglass rods we know .

Up to 4 , or even #5 weight , glass becomes my choice of delicate presentation .
Even delicate rod, it is almost indestructible !

Zoran, very tempted to get a blank! They look awesome! Where did you get it built up?

[Zoran]

Hi super daav ,

There's a name I haven't heard for a while.

He's built a few customs for me over the years - his work is outstanding.
I've still got a few of the early SAGE big game sticks he did.

Zoran, when you speak to Derrick again, pass on my regards will you mate.

Hi Zoran,

Thanks for the info. Is he based in JHB? Maybe Santa has a real treat this year!?

[Zoran]

Yes, he is based at Randburg

Derek is doing some work on a few of my rods right now. Handled an Epic 8 ft 4 & 5 wt blanks in his workshop. 5 wt felt sweet, the 4 was a little soft for my liking, but neither were like glass of old. These are WAY different. Very nice.
