I built this for my pal for his now cancelled trip to Argentina to fish for monster sea trout on the Rio Gallegos.
Yup titts up like everything else Andy.Excellent work as ever, love that grip!!
Was just wondering about Dicky's trip the other day and thinking that may have been the outcome.
No got a boy on ebay doing them Alan.Tidy as usual TFS. Are you printing the decals yourself?
Thats not the worst bit. His Argentinian girl friend and young son came over to visit end of last year and they were all meant to be flying back out to Argentina about now. But she is now trapped here and can't get home until March.As you’d expect they keep getting better imo? What a bummer about the Sea Trout trip of a lifetime.
Thanks for the link.No got a boy on ebay doing them Alan.

Fished the Gallegos 4 times and this would be a really nice rod for the more braidy stretches, have to say tho, I would want to gun up a bit more for the real monsters the river produces.I built this for my pal for his now cancelled trip to Argentina to fish for monster sea trout on the Rio Gallegos.

I've built him a 12'9" #9/10 for his trip also. He actually gave me the specs for the blank.Fished the Gallegos 4 times and this would be a really nice rod for the more braidy stretches, have to say tho, I would want to gun up a bit more for the real monsters the river produces.
No need to gun up...That would have coped just fine..The water is so low at the moment that a single hander would be the weapon of choice..River is apparently full of good fish just now just super spooky and proving very difficult for the locals apparently..Fished the Gallegos 4 times and this would be a really nice rod for the more braidy stretches, have to say tho, I would want to gun up a bit more for the real monsters the river produces.
