Title: Rod names
Post by: Johnny Canuck on September 29, 2013, 12:40:54 PM: I have been thinking lately about how some people name their rod. Who here has named their rod and what is it's name?

Very unique names, they have any sort of story behind them?

"old blue" My buddy ended up breaking it on a chum in the squamish river years later!!

Rusted is my primary salmon/steelhead rod, and it's usually pouring when I'm fishing with it. My joints feel a bit like the tin man on day's like this. It is also roughly a reference to the wrap colour, and at the time of the build I was frequently listening to the song:

The rhino is my personal logo.

Post by: Suther on October 04, 2013, 10:12:48 AM: I suck.

I dont have a collection of rods yet, so the names are pretty terrible, they are basically just a name of the parts - My cheap Zebco Horizon spinning rod is "My rod" or "Daddies Rod" while the $6 spincast I got outta walmart a few months back is "the kids rod" or "Emmas Rod"

I am about to pick up a bigger spinning outfit for myself, guess I should come up with a name for that, can't just call it "Dads big rod" lol
