Well the long wait is finally over and the second JM baby is safe in the TAS cave and my first custom rod. I went with something a little different from the norm and some would say a bit old school but that was the aim, this was built in the depths of Wellywood by the OG of NZ JM rod builders Ginga  .    A few little things to be added, JM handle and I'll change the braid other that a very very happy camper   |

Reckon bro can't wait, will take it to White this weekend and have a wee play and hope it doesn't end in tears  Tied a few PR knots which were less that very average but I'm getting the hang of it slowly but surely, its a mean knot and a thing of beauty I have to say from ...now to do a decent one  .Yup Jig Kid the very same Ginga |

First, you have to move to Auckland and hang out in Ponsonby Rd, with occasional forays down to Swashbucklers. The rest is easy. Nice rod Mooch - had a play with Boulder's JM 150 (I was about to type rod then and knew that would invite riposte and ridicule) on Friday. Loved it. ------------- Nobody has ever come up with a great idea after a second bottle of water. |

Indeedy Moo I know just how badly you have been festering waiting for that to happen. Lets plan a Hauraki mission to see if we can sort some action on the local hoodlums. I know Kezza is well keen and I am not shy to step up to the plate so my people talk to your people  ------------- http://www.boulderguiding.co.nz">  http://www.boulderguiding.co.nz">www.boulderguiding.co.nz |

Defiantly Jimi the knob will go shortly when I can get that and a few other things under the matrimonial radar .I was thinking the blue version as it will tie in with the thread work and the blue on the Saltiga. I have 10kg braid on it currently Power Pro (because I used it for a little light bottom bouncing during the wait for the 150), but that will change very soon I think coloured braid will be on more use and save gear to, only so many times you can hook Aotearoa and get away clean
