Hobby??

What is your other hobby that drives you crazy and makes you wonder why you wanted to invest way too much money in it?

mine would have to be painting (not much of an investment) and photography (a way too big of an investment) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...643300825d.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eca8657fa0.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...83e73f55ac.jpg (oh also knives, way too expensive)

That's what I've been thinking.

That design in that picture on a big snake hook would be KILLER !!

Its a closed pattern meaning you shouldnt see any rod under or through it. The cross overs got a little out of alignment and while I was adjusting and packing them I broke ONE thread. The one I broke was deep down in the fourth or fifth pass........ That was like 7 hours down the drain.

I'm still wanting to about the name.

And Dude, what you do is not a hobby. It is an art as you do it far too well to be considered a hobby!

Nope. Only done for friends and family ;)

I'll take one too.

Beautiful workmanship...betting that takes many hours. Used to watch my Dad make flies when I was growing up, another time consuming hobby but incredible creations.

That is another thing I would love to learn to do in this life. It is one thing to catch a fish on store bought stuff, its a whole different feeling when its on or with something you made. :gj:

It was worth a shot. I noticed that wonky face though....so I’m assuming we are friends now and will be expecting two. One ultralight and one 6 or 7 foot medium action.

I thought we were all friends here.....no?

My next is probably going to be an 8' two piece heavy action catfish rod. ;)

Years ago I used to have some of the flies he made...hopefully they’re still in a box somewhere. His fly tying days are over as his hands are no longer stable enough for it. I used to find it fascinating that he’d start with a bare hook and some scraps of fluff and feathers with thin line, turning it into some type of flying creature. One of my favorites looked like a small bumble bee.
