Could this blank be turned into an Ahi lifting fly rod? Maybe. Maybe not. It's pretty stout. Maybe a jiggin' rod? It needs a home or it's going to the landfill. Willing to meet anyone in the Ephrata/Moses Lake/George area.
I would totally be willing to turn it into something, but not to the extent of driving to Moses Lake to do it! Anyone making the drive from there to seattle who would be willing to pick it up for me?
