Built a small fly rod

[Capt Insano Emeritis]

I was blabbing about a tiny flyrod I made … the coin is a penny for scale. I used dental floss for the tiny flyline
Rings to hold the reel( akey change fob) I cut off a couple Dixon Ticonderoga 2 5/8 med 290. The rod is a-small tiny boombox antenna. The rod eyes are those bra hooks I modIfied and drilled the antenna with tiny wire drill bits - I snapped a lot of bits. I sharpened a quarter inch copper tube to drill a wine cork for the rod handle- and a bit of clear epoxy.

Very cool, what flavor of floss?

 

[Sam Roffe]

If you used flavor floss then isn't that bait fishing?

Just white waxed it fits better between the goldfish teeth.
