We will christen it properly this fall.

Thanks everyone.

Disclaimer. Yes I built the rod but not the plug. The plug was made by Jackbass from this site. Nice patriotic spook with the USMC on it

Unfortunately not. I got him out once this fall and we got skunked. Then a few days later he took a bad fall and broke his hip. He is recovering but at age 77 that process is slow and he is probably not going to get back out this year. Unless I take him on a boat which neither of us want to do

Thanks for asking
