Hello again and Rovic Custom Rods
« on: August 11, 2011, 09:12:01 AM »
Firstly I would like to say Hi to all old and new Go Fishers. Some of you may know that I had a bad end to the winter(pneumonia) and been laid up for a good chunk of the summer (surgery)but as I get back to (my kind of) normal things are looking up . During this time it has been hard to focus on anything but getting better but now I am looking forward to the rest of the summer and get some boating and fishing in!

One thing that I didn’t think would happen so soon was looking forward to the hard water season but that all changed when I got a chance to meet Rolly of Rovic Custom Rods. What a great guy and very knowledgeable about his craft.  I must say I am very excited to see and try one of his creations!

Hope everyone is having a good summer!

Just Peachy

Looking forward to getting together in the near future - fishin and wings :)
As time permits I expect to see Rolly before the first snow for a new ice rod.
Take care,

Good to hear all is on the up-swing JP. Seven years ago I got pneumonia at New Years; man did it ever take it out of me. Had no energy for a long time. Ice fishing was out of the question, at least that’s what the doc said, but what do docs know anyway. Managed to get out twice late in the season in rented huts.

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!
Good things come, to those who bait.
