I decided to fix a few rods since the weather is so bad. Too windy to do anything.

Looks alright to me and it works!

Ive got 4-6 split bamboo fly rods that Ive collected over the years and one or two need to be refinished and wrapped. Not long ago I was given an Orvis fly reel. h.h.

Pretty slick! What did you use at the handle? Looks like a motor maybe??

Yeah it is a microwave motor I took off our old one that was not working. Rotates it at the right speed to apply the epoxy. I keep it going until dry. My whole setup cost me nothing.

Good site. I think some of those camo skins would dress up my old Ugly Stick pretty good.
