finga..stuart did build that rod for me... more than happy with it. It will be here on the RB weekend if u want to check it out but be warned...stu will probably brag about it...LOL
stuart braggs about everything, thats why he,s an ausfisher[ and he is good at what he does] but dont tell hey we,ll never hear the end of it
Na, You will never hear me claim a number 1 as a rod builder. Im sure you have heard that claim from many others. I just like pushing design ideas with blanks, butts, thread and what ever I can think of. Their are many great rod builders in this country, there are also many that shouldnt be building rods but do. I have some new timber rod butts coming out very soon that will look better and feel better in hand. Pin Head, you may have to buy another one mate.

tis ok Pete..at the RB weekend last year Stuart demonstrated to everyone how to hold their butt...lubricate it prior to insertion and the correct amount of glue to use..then came the insertion and the correct amount of force require to get a satisfactory result...I think everyone (including Roz) was pleased with the insertion into the butt and then onto fitting the guides etc.
Pin Head
Spoken like a true "Male Pro". Sounds like a you have gay tendencys mate, I will keep my Butt well and truely away from your front end. How did this thread get turned into some homo topic besides PinHead starting it.
Stu
gay tendencies???? I just described how you instructed everyone to glue the butt onto the blank...dunno what you were thinking as you read it.
I'm just sorry I started this thread now.
Not really...all good fun in the end
I think we're going to have to come up with a new name for butts.....just to save the confusion.
I'm not game to say to Roz...gees you've got a nice butt just incase the (the cook) sees it or Roz sees it and they get the wrong idea then it'll be biffo to me 'til I look like this and then this then I'd be like this for the rest of my life waiting for the next round.
It funny how the mind wonders though isn't it??
Any suggestions for a new name for butts??
Scott what about shaft.
To me it seems more like that then butt. I never could understand why it is called a butt and even had to ask where it was in relation to a rod.
