Shipping Day!!!

These were fun builds and both provided more firsts as a rod builder.

The final products are beautiful and a humble reminder I need practice as a photographer!

Thanks for choosing Haze Rod Co. and tight lines!

Today's topic;
Murphy's Law...and critical learnings...

I guess not all our builds go exactly as planned.

The first build showed some flaws in the thread finish upon drying that required a strip and start over. Major pain in the rear end.

Then; as we are prepping for re-wrap the blank splits because of too high heat when softening the epoxy. We have since invested in a new heat-gun with controllable temperatures to help ensure this won’t happen again. Actually it won’t happen again because I’ve returned to my original process that worked for dozens of previous builds without issue.

That said; 2.0 is freaking beautiful.

This beauty is looking good; and comes after we goofed the first one learning some fantastic lessons along the way. You’re always learning things in this hobby.

We are now well on our way to putting the final wraps on and will be sending this one to its very patient owners soon!

Guide Prep, Layout & colour matching for our next project.

There’s quite a bit of prep before the wrapping even commences.

I’m digging this Lime Green on the Cobalt blue Eternity2 blank from RainShadow Rod Blanks

This 9’ 5wt Custom will be built on the best rod technology in the business. These blanks are feather light.

The feel and action on these blanks will blow the most expensive off the shelf rod out of the water.
