This one came from a doodle at a particularly boring meeting. Its a bit shorter than a Nolls Native but about the same weight with the bulk of the weight in the bum so it casts pretty well. It accounted for three bass on its maiden voyage so I think I'll knock out a few more when the hand improves enough.

Looks good Roy.

When I first glanced at it, I thought it was wearing sunglasses!

By the way, what did you do to the hand?

Gave your Nolls immitation a swim at the gorge. Caught a nice bass, then another liked it better and swam away with it!

Cheers
Graeme

Looks good there Roy...another CRAFT piece of magic.

Cant wait till I can get back on my river and throw your knolls knock-offs around, with any luck that will be on Sunday...fingers crossed!

Graeme, I had "Trigger Finger" - a swelling of the tendon (which goes well with my achilles tendonitis). Had an op on it last wednesday week. Still have a couple weeks physio before I can use it full strength.

So Leigh, maybe you'd know it by its medical term - Stenosing Tenosynovitis!

They called them stenographers in my day aka "the girls in the typing pool", at least that expalins the "stenosing" bit

Shh! don't tell anyone about the stenographer

As a former student of Latin (ex altar boy) I can relate to the swelling referred to when associating with ten synful vital stenographers.

Al, I couldnt get past the bit where you said you were an ex altar boy.
you were an altar boy at all?
Merry Xmas to you and June and families

Another example of CRAFTmanship, from someone who knows what they're doing.

Good work.

Now, I have this rather nice piece of Australian Red Cedar, @ least 20 years old, nice & dry..........
