Joker Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Made some fly fishing rods and some bait casters for a bud of mine that has some plans for a fishing lodge dio. Stretched sprue and some paint. James aka Joker
Foxer Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Those look amazing! .. especially being stretched sprue!
Joker Posted July 10, 2012 Author 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.
jerseyjunker1 Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 gotta love that stuff!!! they look great. if you realy want to get carried away you could wrap very thin wire and make different sized eyelets for them and attach some very thin wire as line. they are to cool.
