Hi DonO; You got to see the rod in person, pictures don't do it justice. The corn cob grip is suprisingly comfortable but, Tony's rattan covered grip has got to be the most confortable grip I've tried yet! And it would look good on a twisted quad with two side flamed. Just my two cents worth, hopin g perhaps you'll come for SowBug. Wayneb

I liked the corn-cob reel seat, but I don't know if it'll compliment the 'busyness' of a spiraled rod. I also like the darl/light burl- that would really compliment the rod if you did a dark/light laminate.

The spine is where I put the guides.LOL After I twist the rod, I then find the spine. The first twist is on the original spine. I have made several bamboo rods that had no distinguishable spine. There that is it. Tony --- On Sat, 1/1/11, Don Ordes <f...@tribcsp.com> wrote: From: Don Ordes <f...@tribcsp.com> Subject: Re: [VFB] HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Nick is just primed and a perfect candidate for the red-neck side with indoctrination by root-beer, moon-pies, and pickled everything. Just don't get him chewing Red-man. LOL Hmmmm... the dark bamboo side. May be some truth to that to. I ordered a rod from Tony and I wanted the twisted one. What does that tellya'? And praytel, where is the spine on a twisted bamboo rod, eh?

Hi Allen; I don't know, wouldn't the Swedish government consider moon pies a form of bribery?? I can still taste my moon pie, tastes like victory! Nick you have no chance you cannot resist the redneck side. Next thing you know Tony will tell you he's your father and you must come with him to the bammboo side! Either that or Allen will convince you he's your father and you must come with him to the Hoosier side!

Nick's a Swede by birth and a Redneck by virtue of two trips to Sowbug and being adopted by Tony and me. That plus liberal infusions of A&W Root Beer. We're going to introduce him to Moon Pie on his next visit. That'll clinch the deal! a. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
