THEY REALLY LOOK GOOD WHEN THEY ARE FINISHED, YOU JUST HAVE ONE PROBLEM," GOTTA BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU LAY THEM DOWN":*****:ALSO THERE IS A LOT OF DANG WORK INVOLVED IN THE BUILDING OF THE CAMO RODS, FIRST I HAVE TO SEND THE CORK AND BLANK'S AND GRIP'S TO CAMO LMTD IN WASHINGTON TO THE CAMO PLANT THEN THEY SIT THERE TO GO THRU THE CAMO PROCESS THEN THEY SHIP THEM BACK TO ME TO BUILD IT ALMOST IS A PAIN BUT THE RESULTS ARE PRETTY NEAT, BECAUSE I CAN OFFER A TRUE CUSTOM ROD LIKE NONE OTHER AND YOY THE OUTDOORSMAN CAN PROUDLY SHOW OFF A CUSTOM ROD LIKE VERY FEW PEOPLE WILL EVER HAVE, SO IT KINDA GIVES BILLYSTIX CUSTOM RODS AN EDGE IF YOU WILL.
MY NEXT PROJECT AFTER BUILDING THE BLUE VIPER ROD WILL BE THE NEW SILVER VIPER I HAVE IT ON ORDER BUT IT'S NOT AVALIABLE JUST YET IT WILL BE HERE IN I BELIEVE ABOUT 2 WEEKS IT SHOULD MAKE AN AWESOME LOOKING ROD AS WELL, SURE COULD DO A LOT OF THINGS WITH A SILVER BASED VIPER ROD BLANK JUST THJINK ABOUT THE COLOR POSSIBILITIES BLACKS, REDS,BLUES, GREENS, JUST ON AND ON IT WILL BE A SHOW CASE "STIX" FOR SURE I WILL SEE TO THAT, SO IF ANY ONE WANTS A TRULY GREAT XMAS GIFT I HAVE SEVERAL RIGHT NOW THAT YOU CAN GET FOR THAT SPECIAL PERSON THAT HE OR SHE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE AGAIN "BILLYSTIXART" AND NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT.
$200 IS NOT THAT FAR OUT OF LINE FOR A SPECIAL ONE OF A KIND GIFT AND MY CUSTOM RODS THAT I BUILD WOULD EAISLY SELL FOR TWICE OR MORE IF BUILT BY ANOTHER BUILDER , I CHECK PRICES OFTEN.

If you set them down in the wrong place, you may never find them again.

dem rods look awesome how long does it take to make them

Them spiral stix are some kinda nice.

chevy boy
on the average i run about 3 to 4 weeks behind as a rule so you can say 3 to 4 weeks but that really depends on how busy i am.
if you are intreasted give me a call and lets chat, the longer you wait the longer it takes because i can behind real quickley and santa is on the way.
i have had more xmas orders already this year than i did last year so it appears that it;s going to be a good xmas,
and i will be closed xmas week the only week of the year that i dont work, but hey gotta take the bride to visit family.
stix

whats wit da xmas?

Got to take mamma to visit family plus it's my only time off during the year, i work 7 days a week so by god, i aint working on santix day.
Stix

I understand that,I was just wondering why some people use the word x mas?

XMAS
 

That's just a very bad habbitt that i and many people have.
I have been shot down before for that same thing, promise i will try to rety the problem it's just lazy on my part.
Stix

Really nice rods man,I wish i had the extra money right now to get one.....maybe in a couple months.

yeah me too! Im smelling christmas present. Im partial to those new ones he has though. I love that blue color.

Blue color viper
 

Yes the viper is a cool blank for sure, i have the silver on order as well , i believe it's going to do very well when it's built, i know when you first think "silver" it might turn you off but as a rod builder i can see so many color varations it would just blow your mind, and that's what get's me going is thinking about the colors that i can come up with, it sometime amazes me at the color combo's that come's out of my sick head.
Even when i think ugly it turns out way cool.
I have an idea that i am playing with let me give it some thought and see what i can do.
Stix

yeah,Im sure the silver one would be neat,Just love that blue one though. The blue with silver thread would be awesome color too.

I WAS JUST TALKING WITH THE TACKLE REP AND FOUND OUT THAT THE SILVER VIPER FADES FROM SILVER INTO THE NORMAL GRAPHITE COLOR SO WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE IS THE SILVER ABOUT 3/4 OF THE LOWER BLANK THEN IT BECOMES DARK LIKE THE GRAPHITE IT WILL BE HERE TOMORROW OR MON, I WILL POST A PHOTO AS SOON AS I RECIEVE IT.
HE ALSO SAID THAT FIRST OF THE YEAR MOST LIKLEY SUMMER THEY WILL HAVE RED VIPER AND BRONZE VIPER HE ALSO SAID THE FRIGGINN PRICE KEEPS CRAWLING UP BUT WHAT'S NEW ABOUT THAT :*****:
STIX

do you have any more blue ones coming in?

Yes
i ordered another blue and a silver should be here sat or mon, i am putting the grips on the blue one as we speak, it sure has a nice tip.
Stix

what size and action do they come in?

7FT--#6-#12-1/4-1/2
7ft--##8-#15--1/4-58-----------this is the one i like--med lite
7ft- #10-#17--1/4-5/8---------another good one-----med
the tips are the same the only diff is that one has a little more back bone than the other, i believe the #10-#17 might be just a tad stiffer but the one that i am building is pretty nice, tip wise. and like isaid it fades from that ligfht blue to a charcoal blue further up the blank, i just completed the grip assembly and put a reel on it 9 in lower grip perfect balance, with those lowprofile titanium guides it's going to be a trout god.:*****:
stix

do they com 6-6" or 7 is the way to go?

speck
it makes no difference they are about the same, i have built them both 6ft6 and 7ft i have even built one for a man that wante it 7ft6 well to make a long story short i told him $$$$ it was out of the questrion, but if he would be ok with 7ft3 then i could add 3 inches on the lower end because he wanted a 10 lower grip any ways so it was not a problem to increase the lenghth a bit, but you have to be very careful when doing that sort of thing, but it turned out ok and he is still fishing it today.
he is in "england uk" he has been a very good customer so far he has i believe 6 of my rods and loves the spiral, man he has to love them after he pays ship and duty, ship and duty on his last order was well over $250 and i just about fainted but it did not seem to bother him in the least, and this was his 3rd order, so go figure.
stix

7 is a good trout rod for fishing from the boat. I'd hate to go with anything over 7 if you wade.

6ft6 or even better 6ft9 for wade fishing with a 7 in lower grip and be sure you have balance, in addition to light weight guides so that the tip does not become tip hvy after a few 100 cast, my billystix "waderstix" is the perfect wade rod and if any one would like to place a little wager on that immmm game :*****:
stix

7 ft rod, your line gets twisted around the top of rod..hate to break it to ya unless you got a buddy, your reel is getting wet ;)

Here's a tip, let out some line, remove the reel from the reel seat and put it in your front shirt pocket. Then flip the rod around and let it hit the water and untangle. Braid and working into the wind sometime give me fits.

:*****::*****:young man
i said nothing about a 7ft what i said was 6ft6 or 6ft9 and yes when your line travels on top of the rod blank and you are trying to work your lure this happens, now you being the senior wader that you are , with the many years of wading experience that you have under your belt oh great wade god explain to us all why this marvel of magic happens, "i mean the line twist around the tip " and you need a friend to help ?
ok i will help the wade god out with a simple helful hint when the eye of the tip is turned up right and the line goes thru and you are working your bait there is a certain amt of play in your line, now the support guides on most tips on most rods are made of a "weld" the support comes around to the tube and lays on the tude and there it is welded "soldered" this causes a lump an unseen lump that is under the tip of the rod the line will swing down and catch this weld and cause a tangle at the tip,
now comes the " spiralstix" the tip is always down , the last approx 6 to 7 guides are also facing down causing your line to flow smoothly under the rod blank and out the tip, now as you are working the rod the tip is facing down and the chance of the line floping up ward rather than downward is better 2nd on the billystix spiral i use the titauim tip which has a much shorter brace thus less chance of the line catching the weld, check your cheap tips and you will see what i mean about the distance that is used for the brace vs the weld. also ring size plays a big part in this.
3rd spirastix again check your rod to see the great distance between the tip and the last guide the greater the distance the more chance for tangle.
4th again for the spiral check to see what the distance is from your reel to your first guide the longer the distance the more free play in your total line flow from the reel to the tip.
5th once again for the spiralwhen you have a good fish on, with your high dollar wally world special mr wader god check to see if your guides have rolled over and your line is laying on your blank while you are fighting your fish, you will never find that with a spiral no matter what you hook up with.
can i be of further asstince to you sir :D
just jerking your chain son but when it comes to fishing and fishing rods i have 70 years of good hard core practice, so if i can ever be of any help please just give me a shout and i will come untangle your rod for you.
stix:*****:
ps
there are rod tips that now come with an extended foot that lays on the blank after the tube is placed on the blank, i have to wrap this foot and then epoxy it, reason it is for fighting big fish in tourneys i use it on all my off shore rods it is also titanium cost $38 bucks but it will not hang up and it will notn allow you to loose a fish that might bring several thousand dollars at weigh in.
i ask my inshore customers if they would like to have the barrell of the tip wrapped up to the weld for this very reason on my billystix custom "waderstix" once again the spiral is the way to go.
i will tell you sometime about have you ever noticed how i wrap my guides and why, not by a machine but by hand, a little trick that i have been doing for for over 40 years but of course i dont have your years on the water yet:*****::*****::*****:

Billy will you untangle mine too? Funny read bud! :grinpimp:
