Well since I've been out of work for a few weeks now I have finally been able to start and finish some refinishing projects. It sure is nice not being
tired or wore out all the time...but regardless I FINALLY have the wife's fly rod finished.

I had a reel sent to me in the same bag a couple years ago as well. It works quite well actually. I guess Scotch and fly fishing just go well together. |

I received a reel in a crown royal bag once and the bag, reel and line smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke to the point that it bothered me. I ditched
the bag and cleaned the reel but the line was forever tainted...

I bought a used canvas rod transport bag (the kind you can put a few rod tubes in) that unfortunately reeked of smoke when it arrived. I was going to throw it away, but my wife told me to put in the garage to air out for a few days, and it was fine. |

Thanks for the comments boys, would you believe that I've seen these very same Crown Royal bags at local fly shops for sale at around 5 bucks a bag.
I'm not talking like a customer brought them in to off load, but rather the fly shop stocks these things as a permanent product...go figure!!!!
My brother in-law drinks the stuff and gives me all the bags I need... Cameron wanted to see the "Nose Art"

HD...very cool decal. We don't get "sexy" around here much...so you've got to show it off when you do have it.
What is the story behind that decal again? |

Hello
Very nice restoration ! I knew it was a diamond in the rough and was happy to pass it on. The rod looks like it will serve another few generations. Tight Lines and H.I.
