And by the way

Would like to thank all of you for creating a new addiction for me. I have my jig tying station out in an unheated garage and have been spending a few days when temps were below 20 cause I can't leave it alone for a day.

I also have built two rods just for working these micro jigs once the water goes soft again. One is a super ultra light built on a 2 weight fly rod 6'-6" blank. Tennesee handle no rings prefer the shrink tape seems to increase sense of feel.

Second one is a little more conventional. Used an old Berkley Lighting rod replaced guides and handle. Its a 5'-6" ultralight.

Mounted a Okuma Aveco size 10 on the fly rod one and GAWD does it feel nice. So light and responsive that I cannot wait to feel first bite on it.

No basement? No spare corner in the house somewhere?

Outstanding - literally - can't sit down because your butt will freeze to the chair.

I started out wrapping rods, years ago, and then tying won.

Catching a fish on a rod that you wrapped and with a lure you made - very hard to beat.

no basement secluded corner already filled with computers and computer junk.

One positive is it sure toughens me up for ice fishing

I love the custom rod.I had two rods built on fly rod blanks,a 3wt and 6wt and they're a blast to fish with.That 6 1/2 " 2WT sounds like a great time with crappie,gills and trout.

Two words propane heater.
