This is what he was supposed to post here, my birthday present only 2 months late...

St. Croix Carbon fiber custom built ice fishing rod with a cedar laser engraved handle.

Wow that is fancy!!!

You couldn't use it in October anyway. And I never rush a craftsman. I gave him a deadline of "before Christmas" and he met it.

Except a 5 bearing instant anti reverse reel. And carbon fiber. And tungsten alloy guides. Among other things...

That is a replica of a rod used in the movie Grumpy Old Men, filmed in Wabasha, MN.

Nice work! That is going to provide a lifetime of great memories....

People actually try to catch fish when they"ice fish"? I thought it was principally an excuse to drink a metric crap ton of beer. Why do you need a nice pole? You don't really want to catch something do you? It would interrupt the drinking!

When you spend the money to have someone put you in a heated house that's sitting right on top of a bunch of fish, it pays to have good gear. If I go ice fishing most other times I might as well use a 2x4 and some nylon rope. And it's not just an excuse to drink a metric crap ton of booze, it's also a perfectly good excuse to smoke a bunch of stogies.
