Very nice:thumbsup:

Nice work, and wrapping, Doublerunner. :drool:

Must have been an awesome present for your Dad to get from ya.

Tell him I said thanks for his service to our country. :clapping: :thumbsup:

Did you 2 get to fish together yet and test it out?

Great gift.:clapping:

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

Vey nice work and a great gift for your Dad.:thumbsup:

Nice rod, did he get any fish on it yet?

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
