unfrozen Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I don't post much but thought I'd show a few things I work on from time to time. I designed my ICE TIME rod earlier this summer. It's comfortable and very light weight. This summer I tried it out from a walking bridge on a nearby pond. It worked real nice, as I had hoped. (Although I did get a few strange looks. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Very nice and light too. Can I ask why you didnt center the blank into the handle? Im sure you had a good reason Im just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yeah I am a little curious too. I can see offsetting it, but if I did offset it I think I would have gone the other way. You must hold the rod a bit different than I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfrozen Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Good question. I found it a little easier for a person to place the index finger on the blank, especially for kids. Plus it gives it a unique look, there's nothing else like it that I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfrozen Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 I pretty much just hold the rod grip in my hand with my index finger touching the blank.I should have given that your idea some thought. What would be the benefit of offsetting it the other direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 For me I would think it would be easier to put my finger on the blank from the bottom, that is the way I normally do it. But then that is why a custom is custom to fit the needs and habits of the owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
