Is this something you just had to do? I’ve been bored but not quite that bad. How long did it take you to build? Hours wise, I think I would have gone with this. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Fishing/Fly-Fishing/Fly-Fishing-Reels|/pc/104793480/c/104721480/sc/105572880/Cabelas-Wind-River-Fly-Reels/1307921.uts?destination=%2Fcategory%2FFly-Fishing-Reels%2F105572880.uts&WTz_l=DirectLoad%3Bcat105572880

Now that you have it, you have to give it a try! We want pictures of it and you in use. Especially if you catch a legal keeper with it. Who knows, maybe you and Cortland can hook-up and start a new full service tackle company 
Maybe Cortland can come up with a Reelskin to pretty it up for you:smiley:
I LOVE IT!!!
Tie a fly? Anyone can tie an ugly old clousser and catch a trout.
Build a reel and catch a trout.
Not that’s a trick.
Pics! Gotta’ have pics of a fish on it!!!

Haha you need a grinder to get some of those edges off. Fly fishing is quite a bit of movement to have a ninja star for a reel!
You really need to catch one and post a pic holding that baby in your teeth. That would be too funny.
How’s the drag?

How much $ will you take for it, or one just like it:question: I’ve got an old CB antenna, that would be perfect for a rod:smiley:

Can’t exactly say it’s purdy, but would be awesome to land a fish with it!
