Joker Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Very nice! What are the reels made of? Baloney sliced sprue trees and stretched sprue bent in a bracket shape for the handle on the bait caster. The fly reels are just sliced thinner with a small stretched sprue handle. I rolled a blade on the tree back and forth to slice them..but be sure to put some tape or the piece will fly to parts unknown..hahaha The rods are stretched slowly and steady for length and then the handle part can be sanded to shape.
