Dirty water Midhandle build
Just finished my second gun build.
29" laminated purpleheart and teak. Neptonics hardware, reverse mech Riffe low profile reel Had the gun in the water 3 times now and could not be happier with the performance. Has plenty of power despite it's short size and swings through the water with little résistance. Only my second build so would love some feedback on areas to improve.

Re: Dirty water Midhandle build
Nice catch, so you built your gun yourself ? just for fun or you are not satisfied with the market offer ?

Little of both. I could not find anything I liked for NJ's always bad visibility. No one seems to make midhandles as compact as the one I made. Also where else do you get abalone inlayed purpleheart guns!? It's addicting, I'll be remaking my first build this off season. |

Re: Dirty water Midhandle build
That's pretty awesome! Where do you get the wood from and how'd you learn? Also, do you need any special tools?

Re: Dirty water Midhandle build
Hey Mana, is that the bottom half of a cast iron chiminea from "Blue Rooster", without the chimney attached? I have a cast aluminum one from them. You ever cook any fish on it? Is good for steaming clams.
