Yes it was a great visit with Rolly for sure. My apologies to Bobbyb for the scheduling mixup who was going to come to Barrie as well. Next time

.
We were able to see the various components Rolly brought up to show us, and give some input. I really like the blanks he showed us, I think they'll be great for a Simcoe Ice Rod (focuing on whitefish and lakers). It will have a little more sensitivity than a Quinte type ice rod. I'm looking forward to seeing a prototype or two! Of course, because they are a custom rod, you have the opportunity to talk to Roly and have one made specifically to your requirements. Hopefully we can get some pictures up as progress develops.
ps: Little whispers say there there's a new web site coming soon for Rovic Rods as well. stay tuned!
