jgib01 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just ordered Cabela's CGR, 2wt. We have a little pond in Lethbridge that is stocked in early May, where I plan to take my son with hopes of his first fish on the fly. Should be a fun place to try it out!

SilverDoctor Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 The Mountain Brook Blanks came in, nice rods, will be nice to fish. Started the first build. Marked the spine and glued up the butt section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're trying to do here... first you & Murray get me into tying at the Expo, and now you're enticing me into rod-building. You lot are relentless 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTCA Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Wondering is anyone has fished a blue halo glass rod? Definitely look good. I built a Blue Halo 5wt Raw and it is a nice casting rod, a little bit faster than their 3wt class but still pretty much parabolic. The next glass for my to build is the Ijuin Yomogi 4wt 7'3" Semi Parabolic. I also have a Kabuto 3wt 7'3" that I really like, a bit faster than the Blue Halo, very similar to Orvis Glass 3wt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTCA Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 SilverDoctor, here is the link to the Blue Halo facebook page for the build. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=559549110815089&id=245320802237923 P.S. I haven't read this forum rule book yet so I am clueless if providing a link like this is allowed or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDoctor Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Post your build, we would love to see it. Ok, just finished the first one. Finish is dry so took it out in the back yard and it cast great on grass. I used Campaign Corks for the Grips. Should be a fun rod. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
