my first sucesful rod without a fore grip

[billystix custom rods]

i just today feel that i have at last mastered the no fore grip delima that has plagued me for several years, i have done them before but i was never happy with my work, the customer's were delighted but i knew they were not right and thier is nothing on the mkt for this tupe work, well i have to build a couple and after a long hard study it just came to me like out of the blue, i have had the secret right here in front of me for years just not quite what i needed until just recently when i reordered some stuff and as soon as i saw what i recieved which was intinded for another purpose i said oh my god i wonder and today i was putting "speckdaddy's rod togther and decided to give it a shot, total sucess after all this time, funny how something this small can excite me this much ofcourse i dont expect it to look to good to you but if you only knew
the anguish i have suffered trying to master this simple rod building small thing, now my custom billystix spiral rods are a step better thanks to a stroke of pure luck, take a look at the fore grip on this reel seat and notice how clean and neat it is, the barrel would normally be left open without the cork fore grip
