My new toy. The rod in the header and also at the bottom of the page
is Tri-Hex #2 and its mine, all mine. Bwahahahahaha!

Seems like a nice idea, given that the rod is made from wood.

Are you also planning to use a vastly improved silk line, horsehair
leader, and gut tippet?

I prefer modern materials, but each to his own.

I do have the silk line, I'm prepping it now. *I've also made my own
furled leaders. *Finally, after my surgery last year, I think I can do
the gut tippet, though there were a couple of weak spots that I'll
have to work around.

You'll also need a silly hat.

Man, there are too many rules in this sport! *So, will this one work?

(who actually has one)

Where will you clip your magnifiers?

There is a very small brim (its about 1 inch). Got the hat when we
had a folk dance program whilst in Hungarian class. Traded an extra
Hungarian fez for it.

Don't the Hungarians (Magyar folk wear Shackos )sp?)
