A little over a month ago I convinced Jacob to turn to the "dark side," at least for a little while. Fiberglass builder and designer, Chris Barclay, put a few blanks up for grabs. With a little convincing, and a little arm twisting Jacob picked up a couple.
Read moreShout-out Saturday - 2017
This year has been a year of discovery, cultivating new friendships, and inspiration from those around me. With 2017 coming to an end, I figured that I would make a short list (in no particular order) of those that have impacted me this past year.
Read moreEnd of Year Special
I currently have some space left on my dance card for next year, and as an END OF YEAR SPECIAL, I’m offering a discount on (4 and only 4) rod orders to be finished in the 2018 year, which will fill out the remainder of my allotted orders for the year. Now through December 31, I’m offering 10% off finished “Classic Taper” Offerings and 15% off of my Between Two Banks “Original Tapers” to the first Four orders with paid deposits before Dec.31, 2017. After the four slots have been filled, orders will be added to the 2019 waiting list.
Read moreConversations About Rods
There's not a day that goes by where Jacob and I don't discuss rod building, doesn't matter if we're out to eat or out fishing a beautiful creek; we will compare reel seats, match guides, mentally plane a rod, or complain about a scarce thread for wrapping. These are regular days, in typical situations.
Read moreA Year in the Making
Almost one year ago I put up an advertisement on the blog offer rod bags in the hopes of supplementing my income a little bit and understanding the world of rod building a little bit better (mostly for Jacob's sake).
One year later it's become my full-time job.
Thanks to you guys!
I've had so much fun on this little journey, sending bags out to builders from Key West to Montana to Australia. I've grown from simple bags to flannel to even tiny little ferrule plug pockets, and it really is all because of my customers.
Y'all have come up with some really fantastic ideas and I feel really lucky to be able to execute them.
Over this year, I've made some invaluable friendships, even though I never actually "met" most of you, but hopefully, someday I will.
In honor of this little anniversary of mine and with the upcoming Holiday Season (remember me on small business Saturday, because I'll be Opting Outside on black Friday) I'm offering 10% off your order when you use the code "ONEYEAR" from now until December 31, 2017, in my shop.
As always, if you'd prefer to order through email, feel free, just mention this post and I'll apply to 10% off.
Thank you again, to all of you! I don't think I can say it enough, but I'm sure going to try. It's been a hell of a ride, and I can't wait to see what's in store next!
Rod Bags {PSA}
Hello All,
I've been getting a lot of emails and messages recently asking if I was back home and back to working on rod bag orders, admittedly I definitely didn't make it as clear that I was back as I did when I was leaving... Sorry guys!
