Just the HANDLES

Nothing much happening in the month of April 2015, just the reconfiguration of the MEGABASS rod and building up 2 rod handles.

The 2 heavy heavy blanks and the required components are flown in from Miri, Sarawak.

Building up a cork grip for a big rod is not as simple for fly rods or normal fishing rods although the procedures of making the cork handle were meant to be same.

This is the only photo of the rod which I just manage take before it was wrapped up for shipment.

REWORK....

These was sent to Miri and then was return to me for rework. The handle was too thick and needed to 'slim' down....

Messy ...messy .... work...

Don't really like to do rework. Normally I would be as precise as possible, but at time when the customer gave the dimensions , I assumed they know what the wanted...

The gimbal have to be remove in order to have a more horizontal plane to sand down the cork grip.

One done and one more to go ..

Operation Sanding down done.. next is to fix the gimbal and finish of with a layer of cork seal.
