@AssyntFly That wee trout is gorgeous

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

I meant would you like a similar one - then get in touch! Damn spell check

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

This is a very special Wee Loch Rod. Would you let me a similar one? Then get touch....

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

@Feargal_Sharkey Hello - have you finished your cane rod yet? Simon

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

Look at these beauties - who would like a rod built with one of these?

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

@AssyntFly Can't wait! What do you think of these bad boys?

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

So where might this rod be heading? #simbarods #custombuilt #scotland #flyfishing

@AssyntFly Doesn't matter when photos are taken in Assynt - they are always beautiful

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

@Feargal_Sharkey @hammersmithandy Excellent - be sure to shake well and warm it up a bit. Let dry and use 2000 grit between coats

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

@Feargal_Sharkey @hammersmithandy I prefer to use danish oil rather than varnish. Keep dressing it each day for a few weeks. Leaves a lovely finish and doesn't crack

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

@Feargal_Sharkey Unbelievable. To think the Scottish government want to make Scotland the Saudi Arabia of salmon farming - to fund independence.....oh Lord

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

Love this colour combination - rust trimmed with copper.#simba #troutfishing #weelochrod #custombuiltrods

@Feargal_Sharkey @RachSalv Super. Have you made a rod before? I love it. Did you ever have a look at my website? If you get stuck or want advice - give me a call....

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

@Feargal_Sharkey @RachSalv Ooo - nice. What is the length/wt? No spare tip?

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

@Feargal_Sharkey @RachSalv No - but I'll give you a £5.00 discount on your first Simba Rod....!

[Simon Barnes @SimbaRods]

It feels like it was hand made for you - because it was..... https://t.co/ncAtaEcAIA
