My wife and kids got me a hand wrapping start up kit and a gift certificate from Mudhole this past Christmas. Since then I have built 8 rods. Four are mine, one is my wife's, two are gifts for my in-laws, and one is for my oldest grandson. I just ordered one for my daughter and thought "while I'm at it...", now I have the stuff rods 9 and 10 coming. That is 10 rods in 3 months. I have never bought more than 4 rods in a year when they are from the store. What is going on here??
