One of the blanks I was awaiting was a green painted Chimera. This was to be whipped up in black with a metallic lime green thread as tipping. There was a 50/50 chance it would be eye burningly garish! Fact is, it looks quite refined.

Hacked off
My back took a while to become less of a pain (literally), then the weather turned vile while I couldn't press on with work, and now all the rod bits I've been waiting for have arrived and I'm busy again just as news reaches me of a big bream from a water I fish. Who recently sold his long range bream rods because he wasn't going to use them again? As you read this I'm stamping my feet and swearing loudly.

My new 'eel' rods are far more subdued in their 'stealth' build. Pics to follow when they are in use with the new reels I have ordered today. They might also get pressed into use as bream rods - if I ever get my act together.
